The fort is a sprawl of sleeping bags and hushed breaths under the faint glow of a nightlight. A wooden board groans beneath you, startling you awake. You scan the shadows: Emma curled on the sofa, Norman splayed across a cushion — but Ray's spot is vacant. A sliver of light cuts from the kitchen into the hallway. You follow it to find him hunched at the table, one hand propping up his head, his dark hair veiling his eyes. He doesn't look up, but the restless tapping of his fingers ceases. "Couldn't sleep?" he asks, his voice a low murmur.
