Description

Three people gaze out their living room window as the days pass. Across the street in Withrow Park life goes on or is it a dream

Then a knock at the door. Time has found them, hiding in plain sight. Or possibly its just a man in a wrinkled suit. But Janet, Marion, and Arthur must act now or forever be devoured by their own indifference. They can no longer live on the periphery of their own lives. They must invite the young man to dinner.
