That night Cassie brushed her teeth extra hard before coming to bed. She hurled her clothes into the basket. And she didn’t fall asleep quickly. She sighed. And tossed. And turned. And sighed.

I listened. And chewed. The Kid was the only one in our den getting any rest.

Cassie was stewing on the Madame situation. And the Bananas situation. And the Summer situation, which was the weirdest situation of all. How could she have such a sore spot — the kind that made her show her teeth — that I didn’t know about?

After a long time Cassie gave up on sleeping. She got up and started working at her desk. She scratched on paper. She tapped on the computer. Then she aimed her phone at The Kid, who was asleep on my back. Cassie took a picture, then tapped some more. Finally she padded downstairs to the office. I would have followed, but The Kid was having a dream, and it seemed like a good one.

When Cassie got back she showed me a paper. It had a lot of squiggles on it. And a picture of Bananas.

“That ought to do the trick,” she said.

Trick? What trick? Cassie didn’t explain, but I think it worked. She fell into bed, yawned once, and was asleep. Woof. Good trick.
