ALMOST TWO WEEKS PASSED before Kay felt the need to say anything to Tom. By then, the two of them had grown somewhat more accustomed to Kay’s new work schedule and were both relatively awake when the alarm went off.

“I think we might have a bug problem,” said Kay in between sips of coffee.

Tom tensed, as she knew he would.

“I don’t know. They’re kind of greyish, and . . . I think Max found another one.”

Tom walked over to the cat with determination, but his shoulders were still drawn up around his ears.

“Is that bad? I’ve only ever had to deal with ants.”

“I don’t think they’re that bad. I mean, at least not as bad as—” he swallowed hard, “—bedbugs or cockroaches. I’ll pick up some bug spray on my way home.”
