A Deadly View Page #3

Oh, we haven't had the chance

to put anything together.

Well, what are you doing now?

I have been banned

from moving boxes.

I'll do the heavy lifting,

you do the soft and frilly.

Let's whip this nursery

into shape.

Seriously?

Come on. What are neighbors for?

Okay.

Okay.

It's perfect.

- Thank you.

- My pleasure.

I haven't had this much fun

in a long time.

Me, too.

I love this poster.

Yeah.

So she grows up adventurous.

- Mm.

- A dream.

So she can do all those things

without a man.

- I hear you there.

- Ah. Mm.

[groans]

Those things are great,

you can actually

stream to your phone.

Isn't technology something?

[giggles]

Looks like my work here is done.

I am right next door.

If you need anything, just wave.

Thank you, neighbor.

Someone loves attention.

What's that?

Nothing.

- I met our neighbors today.

- Mm-hmm.

Your mother has told them

everything about me, apparently.

[Rachel] One read my aura,

and the other has a mom blog

and wants me to be her intern.

She does offer

exposure and experience though.

Yeah, well, my old neighbor

used to speak to his pet ferret.

But his parties

were so much fun.

Here it's just a mix

of boring and crazy.

[Rachel sighs]

A boring childhood

in a nice house in the suburbs.

Not so bad, eh, honeydew?

Ooh!

What was that?

- She kicked me.

- What?

Bad baby. Don't kick your mom.

Getting bored in there?

No TV or Wi-Fi for nine months

would drive me crazy, too.

At least you're not a... fat,

hormone-charged rhinoceros

that can smell everything, but

can't even put on her own shoes.

You're not a rhino.

Any chance for a back rub?

Is this for you or for the baby?

[giggling]

Ooh. Great.

Right in the bladder.

Okay. Give me a sec.

- Okay.

- Ah.

[water running]

[doorknob rattling, door closes]

Peter?

[suspense music]

[thudding]

[clanking]

[drawer shuts]

[music intensifies]

- Who's there?

- There you are.

[gasps]

I didn't mean to scare you.

Um, I let myself in.

I was worried that

the two of you weren't eating.

Mm, someone went shopping.

I'll sleep in the, uh,

guest room tonight.

And then breakfast can be

bright and early tomorrow.

Do you need help with that?

I'm fine.

Well, good night.

[Patricia] Do you think

it's a good idea for Rachel

to be here all alone all day?

She's perfectly fine.

I know that I have given you

great confidence

that a woman can do it all,

but it's hard.

I mean, working,

raising a child,

making healthy breakfasts

every day, alone.

And we appreciate everything

that you've done for us.

This is a great neighborhood,

Mom. Thank you.

Oh, I met our neighbor

Sandy yesterday.

She helped me put together

the nursery.
