I ask her what she is doing here in the middle of the night.

"I can't sleep," she says. "So I came here to work. I want to do a good job for this Family."

I want to say, How can you do this? What do you think you are doing? You can't state the premise. You can't just say that you are Sad, that you want to be Comforted. There are rules, and there are times and places and manners for Showing Tenderness. I want to say, don't say it. It's better if you don't say it. But she is so small and she is a stranger and all I can manage to mumble is "great job," not knowing what to do but lie.

"Thanks," she says, looking at me quickly before slipping into her room.

A week later, I show up on the set and the new Me is already standing there, talking to the writers. I guess I should have seen it coming. What with the new woman and her way of doing things and also the discovery of Jake and who he is and how little he cares about playing My Brother. I should have seen the direction things were going.
