Some neighbors keep to themselves; Lindsey ruled the block like royalty. On our very first day in the rental, she strutted across the street with a Tupperware of cookies—and a warning disguised as a smile.“One car per house,” she chirped. “No exceptions.”We thanked her politely.

Struggling to comfort my crying toddler who missed his favorite teddy bear, I called his daycare, hoping they had found it. The teacher on the line paused, her voice laced with unease.“Actually… I think you need to come see this.” Confused and anxious, I arrived within the hour. She led me to the staff room […]
