Tap

Marcia gave a start when Tony tapped on her bedroom door one evening. She always kept it locked at night as a precaution, not that that would keep Tony out if he was determined to get in. What surprised her was that it was a gentle tap rather than a knock, followed by "Are you awake? You got a moment Marcia? I need to talk."

This immediately seemed out of character, so something was up. Nonetheless, she opened the door and he went in. "Yes?... what is it?"

"What's going on Marcia?" he asked calmly.

"Going on?" she queried.
