A Sra. Lowell transborda simpatia ao acenar-me através da cerca que separa as nossas casas. «Devem ser os nossos novos vizinhos!» Agarro na mão da minha filha e sorrio de volta. No entanto, assim que vê o meu marido, uma expressão estranha atravessa-lhe o rosto.

Eu costumava limpar a casa de outras pessoas. Nem posso acreditar que esta casa é realmente minha... Apesar de ter ficado de pé atrás com a Suzette Lowell, quando ela nos convida para jantar em sua casa, decido que é uma boa oportunidade para fazer amizade. Mas o olhar frio da empregada, quando nos abre a porta… dá-me calafrios.

E a empregada dos Lowell não é a coisa mais estranha desta rua. Sinto uma figura sombria a observar-nos frequentemente, e o meu marido começa a sair de casa tarde, a meio da noite. Além disso, a mulher que vive do outro lado da rua cruza-se comigo, e as suas palavras arrepiam-me até aos ossos:
«Tenham cuidado com os vossos vizinhos.»

Eu e o meu marido poupámos durante anos para dar aos nossos filhos a vida que merecem. Pensei que o passado tinha ficado para trás… será que cometemos um erro ao mudarmo-nos para aqui?

Work Description

“You must be our new neighbors!” Mrs. Lowell gushes and waves across the picket fence. I clutch my daughter’s hand and smile back: but the second Mrs. Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home. My past is far, far behind us. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…

I used to clean other people’s houses—now, I can’t believe this home is actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give our children the life they deserve.

Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes.

But her cold stare gives me chills…

The Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on our street. I’m sure I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors.

Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here?

I thought I’d left my darkest secrets behind. But could this quiet suburban street be the most dangerous place of all?
