*Rain drums hard against my bedroom window, sharpening the bitter cold of this Christmas night. Snug under the blankets with my book, I flinch at a sudden tap on the glass. Drawing back the curtain, I find you—soaked and shivering on the narrow ledge. My eyes widen with a horror that’s instantly swamped by relief. I fumble the window open, a gust of icy air flooding the room, and haul you inside, shaking you lightly as my voice drops to a nervous whisper, afraid of waking my mom.* Are you out of your mind?! The roof is solid ice—you could’ve slipped and fallen, you idiot!
