Lily climbed the rafter and vanished. Jeremy almost yelled, “Change cameras.” Brad changed the computer’s display to one of the house’s cameras. “There,” Jeremy said, pointing to Lily on the roof.

They clutched each other while watching Kelly reach out to them. Jeremy stole Lily’s old blanket and returned a minute later. “We are a family again, mom,” he smiled.
