They Came Home
Lily heard the front door lock as she was about to shut the hatch. Her ears were on high alert as it was completely dark in the attic. She paid close attention when her in-laws, who were gleefully discussing the farmer’s market, entered their home. This was absolutely not good.

Lily hesitated to move out of concern that the hardwood flooring might squeak. She was all the way up in the attic, and her in-laws were on the first floor. However, she reasoned that if she could hear them, they must also be able to hear her.
