Doorbell rings.
“Aren’t you gonna get that?” he says, upstairs.
Scrunchy face.
“We don’t know anyone here.”
Pause.
Again, doorbell rings.
I answer the intercom, “Hola?”
“Hola… bla bla bla algo en español que no entiendo…”
“No sé.”
I quickly hang up the receiver.
“What did he say?”
“Something in Spanish I didn’t understand, so I said I don’t know and hung up.”
Scrunchy face.
“Good thing you answered the doorbell.”
Chuckles.
“Yes, good thing.”
