Sonya woke up in the middle of the night parched. Disoriented, she checked on Lily Lane, relieved to find her sleeping soundly beside her. Checking the time, she went to the small living room for water. After drinking, she collapsed onto the living room floor. It was cold. She suddenly felt the urge to call Henry and hear his voice.

She dialed, and he answered quickly.

"What's wrong? his gentle voice filled the phone.

"What?"

"Can I get a dog?"

"You're asking if I'll clean up after it, right?"

"Huh?"

She'd just wanted to know if he'd agree. She'd had a dog growing up, for twelve years, until it died when she was in high school. She'd always wanted another, but Julian Jennings hated dogs and wouldn't let her have one.

"Okay. I'll bathe it, groom it, clean up after it, feed it-whatever you want.

Sonya's eyes welled up.

'Sleep now, sweetheart."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come home."

The head of the tech department, who had just endured a grilling from Mr. Sullivan, felt a pang of longing. Olivorch a disparity between people! He wished for Mr. Sullivan's gentleness, even a gentle "Get out." Yes, he wanted to escape!
