Then, I said, “I think it’s time for me to go to bed.” We wished each other good night and I went to my room and changed into my running clothes for the morning. I opened the door to our shared bathroom and went in to brush my teeth. Kevin’s door was still open so I tip-toed over to shut it. In the glow of the nightlight, I saw Kevin asleep in bed with the bars up on both sides. He was facing the door and I saw he had a teddy bear and two stuffed puppies cuddled under his arm and his thumb in his mouth. I silently shut the door and went to bed myself.
