Chapter 1 – First day in the Neighborhood
This town was really nice. It wasn’t quite city, but it wasn’t country either. There were big houses, and small houses, and tons of new people to meet. Oh! I suppose I should probably put in here who’s diary it is, in case it gets lost. My name is Alexa Calvin. I came from a small town about an hours distance from Riverview. It was a wonderful place to grow up in, but as I became an adult I found there was less and less to do in my area of interest. No one in a small town needs an architect- my Ex-husband certainly didn’t.
After the moving van had finished placing my things in the house, I contemplated unpacking, but decided to view the town a little bit. Not far down the street from me, it looked like another man my age had just moved in as well- he appeared to be waiting for his car pool.
I seized the chance to say ‘hello’ to him.
He was a tall, dark handsome fellow, and I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous introducing myself. He laughed a bit and told me his name was Leo. We got to talking, and it turned out we actually had quite a bit in common.
I used computers for computer aided drafting, and he used them at the science lab he worked at. Turned out we were both nerds; I couldn’t help but laugh a little. As the minutes moved by, his car pool arrived, and we were obliged to stop our conversation so he could go; Not before he let a little compliment slip from his lips though, turning my cheeks red.
Hmm. Quite the charmer right off the bat. This neighborhood should be fun.
