Fiction: Jeff Fleischer
We met the Weavers the day we moved in. They brought us hot dishes and promised we could stop over anytime we wanted. At first, we saw them a lot. Our kids played soccer in the yard together when they were small, but didn’t hang out much after second grade. We always waved hello, but could go months without seeing each other. We spent a lot of time indoors.
I learned they’d sold their house when their wifi network disappeared the day they packed up and drove to Indiana. I don’t know what happened.
We didn’t bring the buyers anything.
