Little rust-colored creatures decorate on the bed's comforter; you can't see them clearly enough to be sure what kind of creatures they are, but you fancy that they are dancing.

You've gotten used to sleeping in strange beds. It's part of the job, and part of the lifestyle. And that at least looks like a good bed to sleep alone in, unless the dog decides to stay. It's a good thing you don't mind dogs, since you'd probably have more trouble finding houses to watch if you had to pass over the ones with pets; the only dogs you worry about are the obviously dangerous ones, and this one at least looks friendly enough. It's responded well to all of the commands that the owners had left in their letter to you, as well.

This bed looks comfortable enough. You're not sure you're the kind of person that it was intended for, though. The holiday lights strung around the headboard aren't really your style; you prefer more practical setups, really. And the walls around the bed were decorated with photographs, all of them happy and smiling. You'll admit, reminding yourself of the better times in your life every time you woke up wouldn't be a terrible idea. You just don't think you'd take it that literally.

The little dog stands up and stretches before trotting over to you, and you reach out and pet it as it sits near your hand. It's a nice place to visit; the view from this room alone is amazing. But the nice thing about this setup is, you don't have to live there.

I normally don't much like second person, but I think you really pulled it off here! Good job.

Thank you. :)

I feel like 2nd. person PoV has gotten a bit overused lately. I have a few theories as to why that is, but I don't know. XD I feel like it can be used to make a very intimate narrative, if it's done right. Which is difficult to do, as you say.
