Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) random teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! 

On some days she might meet another pedestrian and stop to chat, but this happened rarely.  You'd think a few other residents of Ocean Breezes would also take walks, but mostly they watched TV or chatted and drank decaf or took part in lunchtime sing-alongs.  As far as Maud was concerned this led to an early death, relatively speaking.
