“Fireworks, Mama!”
The excited little voice finally penetrated Abby’s sleep-fogged brain.
She cracked open an eye to see her daughter standing by the bed in her pink
fuzzy jammies, her long blonde hair tangled around her face.
“What is it, baby?”
“There’s fireworks! I sawed a big flash of light outside my window.”
Abby opened her other eye and squinted at her clock. Three o’clock in
the morning? Running a maternity home meant that it wasn’t the first time
she’d been awakened at this hour, but it was usually due to one of her girls
going into labor.
She peered out the window but could see only darkness. “I think you

“I didn’t, Mama. Honest.”
“Okay, sweetie,” she said yawning, then lifted the covers. “Why don’t

daughter safe in her arms, not left alone by a drug-addled mother.
She dropped a kiss on Lucie’s head. “Go back to sleep, baby.”
Abby’s own eyes were just closing when a blinding flash lit up the
room.
“See, Mama, I tolds you!”
That flash had not resembled fireworks in the least. What’s more, it
had seemed to come from inside the house. Was one of the girls playing some
kind of game?
“Stay here, Lucie,” she ordered as she climbed out of bed.
The air was cool enough that she pulled an old sweater over her sleep
pants and tank as she headed for the door. Her bedroom and Lucie’s room
were at the back of the rambling old house, e, behind the shared kitchen, dining,
and living areas. The girls’ bedrooms were all
