DELILAH CAME BACK about twenty minutes after I'd finished my letter. It was nearly dark out, and I hadn't turned on any lights. Just let the whole world get dimmer and dimmer. Inside and out.

She clucked her tongue and turned on the overhead light and I blinked like I'd only just been born.

“Sittin' here in the dark,” she said. “What were you thinking?” But it was a rhetorical question. Unlike my father, she didn't really insist on knowing my innermost thoughts. “Here,” she said. And handed me a little bag.

I turned it upside down and slid a small object out into my hand. A key.

“In case you need to be here when I'm not home. Or if it's late.” I wanted to tell her I could have a hundred friends and she'd still be the best one. But I couldn't bring myself to say all that. Instead I just held it up and held it tightly. And said thanks.
