“Why not?”

Emily frowned, thought for a moment, then said:

“My bed felt… really tight.”

I laughed.

“Your bed is two meters wide and you sleep alone—how could it feel tight? Or did you forget to tidy up and your stuffed animals and books took all the space?”

Emily shook her head.

“No, Mom. I left it clean.”

I stroked her hair, thinking it was just a child’s complaint.

But I was wrong.
