Hello, Neighbor

Jennifer Melrose and Kevin Bannington meet over a row of shrubs that separates their backyards. She welcomes him as a new resident in the neighborhood where she has lived for several years, two divorced people of the same age whose attention is drawn to each other by chance. Jennifer is a commercial artist who works from home. Kevin is an attorney who has left his New York firm for a little less fast-paced life in Cincinnati, close to where he grew up across the river at Covington, Kentucky. Invited inside for a cup of coffee, Jennifer finds herself immediately attracted to the new neighbor, but it is indeed mutual. Soon they are dating, and before long Jennifer comes to appreciate his sense of humor as much as he is delighted by her mischievous demeanor. One day, her mischief brings her to make a teasing comment that she is lucky that she is too old to be spanked. Kevin good-naturedly disagrees, and the two of them discover that even in middle age, some surprising and delightful antics can bring about a very rewarding and lasting relationship.
