“And what were you doing while this priest was going through all that?”

“Looking for what fell into the bedspread.”

“I knew it. I like your curiosity and your practical side, Seliah. Tell me what it looked like. What was the first thing you thought of when you saw this thing fall into the spread?”

“I barely saw it. It happened so quickly and I was upset and the light was bad. It was something heavy and small, inside something larger and loose. Like . . . like a golf ball wrapped in a washcloth. But we couldn’t find it. Joe saw it, too, and came over to help me look. We lifted up the bedspread and shook it real good but nothing was there.

Nothing under the bed, either. Joe just kept talking away. I could smell the booze on his breath, though to be truthful it could have been the booze on my own. Sean just lay there snoring through the whole thing. That’s when Joe told me he thought Sean and I were special, that we’d do great things on earth. I said getting Sean to his own room would be a good start. I finally woke him up, which wasn’t easy. He walked to our room and crashed down on the bed and fell asleep again. I tried to get his shirt off but he was just too heavy and dead asleep. I took off his flip-flops. He’d dinged a toe on the walk over, so I got an alcohol wipe and cleaned it up. Just a drop of blood, not even that. Or maybe it was one of the flies Joe was shooing.”
