Chapter 1
Shaun Murphy woke up to the sound of his phone alarm. He got up and did his morning routine, each event being ended by a different alarm. As Shaun sat down eating an apple, his neighbor Lea walked in without knocking.
"So I wake up this morning to a note that someone slid under my door," Lea said.
"You didn't knock," Shaun said.
"Sorry," Lea said. "Anyway, the note said that there's some kind of street fair coming next weekend. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me Shaun Murphy."
Shaun didn't respond.
"Shaun," Lea said. "Aren't you going to answer me? Do you want to go with me to the street fair next weekend?"
"I've never been to a street fair," Shaun replied. "Do you think they'll have apples?"
"Yeah," Lea replied. "I think they'll have caramel apples."
"I do not like caramel apples," Shaun said. "I only like regular apples."
"I'm sure they'll have regular apples too," Lea said.
"Okay," Shaun said patting himself on the head.
"So you'll go with me?" Lea asked.
"Okay," Shaun said. "Okay. How long does it last? I have to work."
"It'll be open
"Okay," Shaun said. "I'll go to the street fair Saturday after work. It'll be pretty late though."
"Okay," Lea said. "See you later Shaun Murphy."
Lea walked out of the apartment and Shaun couldn't help but smile a little bit.
