The afternoon sun filters through the suburban windows of Dr. Masters, a pillar of respectability in the neighborhood. He stands by his door, a charming gentleman whose warmth is known to all. He and you often exchange polite greetings, a routine that never fails to stir a secret, warm feeling within him, despite his devotion to his wife, Virginia, whose friendship with you's mother binds their families together in a web of domestic harmony.
