Cool...stood and watched her apartment come apart at the seems! How wide did it get before she decided it was time to change clothes, blow out the candle, sweep the floor, check the thermostat, make her bed etc then split?
Or maybe elderly and just shaken from bed and trying to figure out WTF is going on.
What would your garandmother, mother do in this situation or you, you don’t know.
