Fatigued from dullness and stress which has plagued him a long time, a married man in his early 60's leaves his job of 18 years. Rather than jumping back into a the grind, he decides to take several months away from the rigors of work life to see what the world is like away from the travails of corporate culture. To his surprise, he finds himself enjoying a quieter existence in and around home. His wife continues to work her regular 9 to 5 job as a bank manager, mostly because she enjoys her work and is very much a creature of habit. In many ways he and his wife have become strangers who live under the same roof. Though their relationship is amicable, they stay out of each other's way.
He lives in an older neighborhood in a small Southern city, and since the house is nearly 100 years old, it requires considerable upkeep and maintenance. He uses much of his newfound time to work on projects in and around the house, rising at dawn to begin his day since his body clock remains unaltered. He also regularly jogs four and sometimes five days a week, charting a five-mile route through the neighborhood. He isn't used to seeing his neighborhood in the light of day since for years he spent so much time at his office. He notices details and gains a new appreciation of where he lives, the way the lawns are kept, the care (or lack thereof) for the neighborhood appearance. Inevitably, he becomes aware of the habits of his neighbors -- when they come and go, how much time they spend sitting on their porches, how often and how far they walk their dogs.
One neighbor in particular has piqued his interest, a woman in her 30's or 40's. She lives in one of the smaller more modest houses about six houses down the street from him. He's never had occasion to meet her, but from what he's observed over the past few weeks he believes she is a single mother of a daughter. He's seen the mother and daughter going to and from their car, but has yet to notice the regular presence of a man. He can't really distinguish her features from a distance, but from what he sees she appears to be average height and build. He isn't sure, but he believes she works from home, since her car stays in the front driveway most of the day.
As the weeks go by, he finds the solitude he enjoyed during the quiet days to get a little monotonous. He begins to crave human company, and he meets his former colleagues for lunch or coffee, though the conversations they have regress into work issues of which he no longer has any part of. He wants the stimulation which comes from meeting someone new and unlocking personal mysteries. So, one day he decides to alter his daily jog to correspond with the time his female neighbor will be outside. He figures she steps out of the house around 10am or thereabouts, and he tries to time it so he passes by to say "hello" and give himself a chance to introduce himself....
