Brittany and Hannah were already fast asleep, but Kari, restless and troubled, was wide awake. Hearing Ronald's voice on the phone took her by surprise. "You're done with work?" "Come downstairs."

Kari blinked in confusion. "I'm not at home."

"Mr. Salter, you're still up?"

Considering the hour, she had assumed Isaac would be asleep.

"Just finished a meeting." Isaac, clad in loungewear, noticed Kari's outfit and frowned slightly. "What's this about?"
