Sharon closed her car door and walked along the stone walk-way to her
front door.  Already the work week was fading.  It was Friday,
and all that lay ahead of her now was a weekend of rest.  She certainly
would&amp;rsquo;ve preferred it if Mark hadn&amp;rsquo;t run off golfing for the entire weekend
without her, but she didn&amp;rsquo;t want to think about that now.  Sharon
stopped thinking about Mark and looked down by the front door.  On
the porch lay a small package about the size of a shoe box.  It was
wrapped in plain brown paper and had been hand delivered, for there was
no address on the package, only a note that was taped to the outside. 
She picked up the package and went inside, reading the note as she walked. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
