The autumn rain was falling gently against Claras living room window. She sat in a cozy armchair wrapped in a soft cotton blanket. A small cat was sleeping peacefully on a cushion next to her. Clara was reading a peaceful book about ancient botanical gardens. Suddenly, she heard a polite knock at her front door. She looked at her wall clock in total surprise. Nobody usually visited her without calling first on a rainy Sunday. She put her book down and walked across the wooden floor. When she opened the door, a tall man stood under the wooden porch. He wore a wet canvas jacket and held a large green umbrella. Clara blinked twice because she could hardly believe her eyes. It was Leo, her best friend from high school. They had not seen each other for almost five years. Hello Clara, Leo said with a warm, friendly smile. I hope I am not disturbing you today. Clara gasped with joy and gave him a gentle hug. Leo! What a wonderful surprise! she exclaimed. Please come inside out of the cold weather. Leo wiped his boots on the mat and stepped into the warm hallway. He explained that his bicycle had a flat tire nearby. He had decided to walk to her street because he remembered her address.
