Through the trees under her window, June could just barely make out the swimming pool. She had never seen anyone in it, but every day, two rottweilers took a lap around it. They loped around casually, not looking for anything in particular. The water shimmered. It was hot outside, and the people who owned the pool would probably be down there enjoying it if they weren’t at work, earning money to pay off the pool. June wondered if it was better to be at work, paying off a pool, or at home, watching the dogs run.
