“Sorry I got you in trouble.” I said after the two of us had laid there quite for a minute.
“It wasn’t your fault. I turned on the movie and besides, she wasn’t really mad.” Joey said.
I made a disbelieving grunting sound and then said, “Really? Because she sure sounded mad to me.”
“Trust me!” Joey chuckled, “When she gets really mad, she makes me sleep on the floor in her room where she can watch me all night.”
The two of us laid quietly inside the cardboard fort for quite a while until Joey whispered, “Alvin, you awake still?”
Into the darkness I answered, “Yeah, are you?” and we both giggled.
“You didn’t tell me.” He said.
I thought for an instant before asking, “Tell you what?”
“If you ever seen a ghost.” He whispered kind of loudly.
