There was a curious house which Sandie passed on the way home from school.
She could see the living room through the window: shocking wallpaper and crappy furniture. The curiosity came from sticks that sat on the coffee table, and an owl that swooped around the living room like it was perfectly at home.
She had never actually seen anyone inside; that was until one day she was walking home later than usual, and the living room wasn't as empty as it normally was.
There were two young men in the living room. One was tall and fair-haired. The other was shorter and had long black hair and stubble. They held each other in a loose embrace. They had the biggest smiles on their faces. They were dancing.
