“Of course it’s my fault!” His nose was getting congested.

“I mean, they tricked us. I sort of wanted to open the window too, when I saw those wolves

charging. You know, in case it wasn’t fake.”

“I knew it might be a trick,” he sobbed. “But that baby looked so real. I thought they might have

kidnapped him to use him as bait. I thought I could save him.”

“You were trying to do the right thing.” She attempted to hug him once more, but he pushed her

away again.

“Don’t,” he snapped.

“I didn’t mean to blame you,” said Kendra. “You were acting like you didn’t even care.”

“Of course I care! You don’t think I’m terrified to go down there and find out what I did?”

“You didn’t do it. They tricked you. I would have opened the window if you hadn’t.”

“If I would have stayed in bed none of it would have happened,” Seth lamented.

“Maybe they’re fine.”

“Right. And they let a monster come in the house and up to our door pretending to be Grandpa.”

“Maybe they had to hide down in the basement or someplace.”

Seth was no longer crying. He picked up a doll and used her dress to wipe his nose. “I hope so.”

“Just in case something bad did happen, you can’t blame yourself. All you did was open a

window. If those monsters did something bad, it’s their fault.”

“Partly.”

“Grandpa and Lena and Dale all know that living here is risky. I’m sure they’re fine, but if they

aren’t, you mustn’t blame yourself.”

“Whatever.”

“I’m serious.”

“I like it better when you’re funny.”

“You know what I liked?” Kendra said.

“What?”

“When you saved Goldilocks.”

He laughed, snorting a little through his stuffy nostrils. “Did you see how bad the salt burned

that guy?” He retrieved the doll and wiped his nose again on the dress.

“It was really brave.”

“I’m just glad it worked.”

“It was quick thinking.”

Seth glanced at the door and then back at Kendra. “We should probably go check out the

damage.”

“If you say so.”
