Jerry Todd was a successful salesman whose travels took him around the country. He tended to do a lot of working in distant locations at a time, and then he might have a week or two in a row off.
He had just gotten back the night before, rather late, and then slept in this morning, a rare pleasure for a busy man. He went down to collect his mail that morning and noticed a pretty girl heading up the steps that led to his condo as well as the one on the opposite side of the landing. He hoped for a moment that she might be planning to knock on his door for a moment, but instead she pulled out a key and went into the other condo, which had been for rent.
Intrigued, Jerry went upstairs and back into his own place. Leaving the mail on his desk, he stepped into his bathroom and ran a brush through his hair. He hadn't shaven yet that morning, but he had had a shower, and he changed into a tight-fitting pullover instead of the old sweatshirt he had been in, and put a belt through the loops on his jeans, leaving himself barefoot.
So it wasn't long before he was knocking at the door across the landing.
