     "Oh, my apologies! I didn’t mean to scare you!”    Of course, a man hanging upside down in a tree outside        at six in the morning might have warranted many                 people to get spooked. Hank had the day’s            newspaper in his hands, knees hooked around       a thick limb of the tree. He swung himself up,          somersaulting through the air before landing before   the redheaded woman. He already had his newspaper         folded under his arm, scooping up the books he             scared out of her hands. He gave an apologetic look     as he offered them out to her in a neatly organized pile.
