Maybe it was just because I was all alone. Whatever the reason, I was still wide awake at 2.30. I got out of bed and went over to the window. Below me, far across the valley, the last of the storm clouds drifted quietly against a clear night sky.

I could see some stars. I looked down the dark winding driveway that led from the house to the road along the edge of the bluff. The motionless trees, the shaded surface of the mountainside, the white ribbon of highway, all seemed deserted and very distant.

I looked again at the luminous dial of the clock on my night table. Two thirty in Los Angeles. That would make it four thirty in Chicago. I wished I could pick up the phone and die a long distance.

Hello, Mom. Hello, Dad. It turns out your daughter is not a big girl after all. She's sleeping in your bedroom, but she's still afraid of the dark. Would you mind singing her to sleep? Pick up the phone.
