Night Sounds

"Is your house always so full of strange noises at night?" Mindy asked.

Aaron sucked in a breath, "What did you hear?"

"It sounded like someone with a peg leg. I kept thinking of Captain Ahab walking the deck of his ship."

So its not just me, Arron thought, but what he said was, "Well the house is over a hundred years old. It has more than its share of creaks and groans."

Mindy shook her head. "These were not house sounds."

Aaron wondered if he dared tell her his grandfather had worn a prosthesis. Was she ready for that? He wanted to believe she was.
