I got home at nine thirty and found the house was a mess. Every couch cushion and throw pillow was on the floor in a circle with two or three books on top of each one. I had no idea what the kids had been playing. I found Zach and Haley together in his bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and Zach smiled with his eyes closed. “Faker,” I said, whispering.

“She was afraid to sleep by herself,” he said, pushing Haley’s leg off of him.

“I sure am glad to see you,” I said. “Were you okay?”

“You called a million times,” he said, rubbing an eye with his index finger. “I could never play computer games because I’d be in the middle of a game when the phone would ring.”

I laughed out loud. “Sorry! You did a great job keeping your sister safe.” He nodded. “Was it scary?”

“Kind of,” he said. “Especially when somebody kept knocking.”

I played with his hair and he closed his eyes. “On Monday you’re going to go to Glory’s Place.”

“What’s that?”

“A really cool place where you can play basketball and lots of games and be with other kids. Sound good?”

He closed his eyes. “Sure.” I kissed his forehead and his mouth fell open. He was asleep. I kissed Haley hard on her cheek and she never moved. “Thank you,” I said, whispering.
