Chapter Eight<br />

“Charlie!” Someone was <strong>at</strong> the door, knocking loud enough to r<strong>at</strong>tle the old<br />

hinges. Charlie roused slowly, her eyes sticky with sleep, but this time <strong>at</strong> least she knew<br />

where she was. She had left the window open, and now the air coming in had a fresh,<br />

heavy smell: it was the scent of coming rain, mossy and rich. She got up and looked out<br />

the window, inhaling deeply. Unlike most of the world, the woods outside looked<br />

almost the same in the morning as they had in the dark. Charlie and John had gone back<br />

to bed soon after they finished talking. John had looked <strong>at</strong> her like there was more th<strong>at</strong><br />

he wanted to say, but she had pretended not to notice. She was gr<strong>at</strong>eful to him for being<br />

there, for giving her wh<strong>at</strong> she needed without having to ask, because she would never<br />

have asked.<br />

“Charlie!” <strong>The</strong> banging came again, and she gave in.<br />

“I’m up, Marla,” she shouted back.<br />

“Charlie!” Now Jason was joining in the game, knocking and r<strong>at</strong>tling, and<br />

Charlie groaned, and went to the door.<br />

“I said I’m up,” she said, mock-glaring out <strong>at</strong> them.<br />

“Charlie!” Jason shouted again, and this time Marla shushed him. He grinned<br />

up <strong>at</strong> Charlie and she laughed and shook her head.<br />

“Believe me, I’m awake,” she said. Marla was fully dressed, her hair a little<br />

damp from the shower, and her eyes were bright and alert. “Are you always like this?”<br />

Charlie said, her grumpiness only half-invented.<br />
