This is how the dramatic romantic tale begins:
“Someone knocked at my door. Or I thought I heard knocking. I really don’t know. I woke up from the sofa where I had been slumbering. But it could as well be that I had been deeply asleep. I had finished my supper about an hour before and had been too tired to clear the utensils from the table then retire to bed from the day which had been hectic. The knocking returned and I looked at my watch. What? Twenty minute to midnight? Who the hell could be knocking at such time? For a while, I was gripped by some fear, wondering whether or not to open the door. For one thing, it was risky to open up for anybody at that time. ”
