She peered closely, and made out a man in a leather jacket, arms crossed over his chest, watching them. “Who is that man?” she asked Max.

“Where?” he said, his voice steely cold.

She raised her hand and pointed, but there was no one there. She blinked and shook her head. “I’m seeing things. And I sound like my mother.”

“I’ll get out and look,” he said, his hand on the door handle.

“No. Let’s go. Sorry, it was nothing,” Jill said.

“Okay.” Slowly Max backed the car out and turned toward the highway. Jill glanced in the side mirror nervously but saw only the moonlight in the trees.

Carly Hart Stewart showed up at Jill’s door the following morning at eight a.m. with bagels, presents, and enough enthusiasm to launch an Internet start-up.

“Carly! But where’s Hamilton, and the nanny, and dear baby Julia?” Jill hugged her, bags and all, and took some of the things from her.

“Ham hasn’t made it to California yet, he had to make a detour to Toronto. Nanny and Julia are both sleeping at the hotel. I told them we’d be back there for lunch.” She ran a critical eye down Jill’s body, from her hair to her bare feet. “Girlfriend, what have you done to yourself? You are glowing, absolutely radiant!”

“I, ah, I’ve been resting.” Max had left at dawn. She had considered going back to sleep for an hour, but she was glad now that she had made herself get up and shower and straighten the house. Although what she did last night besides sleep was obviously written all over her face. “It’s spring break, remember? I’ve been sleeping in.”
