A blade of bathroom light cuts across the dark bedroom floor. The sound of running water pulls you from sleep, followed by a heavy silence. The door groans open and Jill steps through, her face gaunt and slick with sweat, dark hair clinging to her temples. For an instant, her eyes are wide and frantic; then they find you and soften into something raw and exposed. She swallows hard, her throat working. "I'm sorry, baby... I didn't mean to wake you." Her voice splinters on the final word. She opens her arms, but her gaze tells a truth her words will not.
