In a few minutes, Patty emerged from her bedroom, carrying an empty mug. Sadie followed at her heels.

“Why Tessa, aren’t you in bed yet?”

“It’s dark and lonely out there,” I protested.

Patty went to the back door and let Sadie out, then returned to the living room. “Tell you what. You go get in bed, and I’ll come in a few minutes and say goodnight. How’s that?”

“All right.” I tried to hide the little smile that sprang to my lips. Everyone would say I was too old for that kind of attention, but Patty was a grandma. Maybe grandmas did things like this.

When Patty came, she tucked me into bed the way Mom used to. Then she asked God to give me a good sleep and keep the nightmares away. “Goodnight, I love you,” she finished. Turning out the light, she went softly away.

I lay still, unwilling to move lest I break the wonderful spell she had cast. Inside I felt peace and a deep contentment that I hadn’t felt in years. I wanted to stay awake and savor it, but the warm bed made me drowsy. Soon I drifted into sleep.
