By the time Luc\u00eda lifted her head beneath the heavy wool blanket, blocking that thin blade of light under the door, every trace of sleep left my body.<\/h1>\n

My heart hammered so hard I was sure the person outside could hear it.<\/p>\n

I still did not understand what was happening in my own bedroom, but one thing became terrifyingly clear.<\/p>\n

My sister-in-law was not sleeping in my bed because she was strange.<\/p>\n

She was protecting herself from someone.<\/p>\n

Her face went pale.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease,\u201d she said, glancing toward the ceiling. \u201cNot here.\u201d<\/p>\n

That answer frightened me more than a denial.<\/p>\n

That night, after everyone slept, we met on the roof.<\/p>\n
