She stirred from the bed, glancing at the clock on the nightstand. Ten-thirty. She rose, changed into a nightshirt, checked her phone to see if Gil had left a message. He hadn’t; he’d told her he’d be out with Julia tonight. She could visualize him, having glanced at the incoming phone number, smiling to himself, maybe, but turning to Julia with a “oh, it’s nobody—I’ll let them leave a message” comment.

She turned off the lights and slid between the bed sheets. From the other room she heard the reassuring sound of Alice’s voice, high and sweet, talking to her cat, and a corresponding meow. The bed was comfortable, luxuriously so. The sheets were a soft, rich cotton; who knew cotton could feel so silky to the skin? A feather comforter managed to feel both weightless and warm on her body. If it hadn’t been for the conversation with Mom, she would have been reveling in the experience of this new home.

She thought of Mom and found herself resorting to prayer, the way she’d done as a little kid.

Please, God. Let her be okay. Don’t let her go to that black place again. Whatever it takes to protect her, we’ll do it. I’ll do it.
