Then we laughed at ourselves, because it was wind chimes doing wind chime things.
At around 11, when we were inside and the lights were out, I heard a voice outside.
Not close, maybe 50 yards away, down near where the driveway met the trees.
A woman's voice calling, It wasn't a scream.
It wasn't frantic.
It was the tone someone uses when they think they might be at the wrong house.
I sat up in bed.
Nora stirred and asked what it was.
I didn't answer right away because I was listening for a second call.
The way you listen for a second clap of thunder to confirm the first wasn't something else.
The voice came again, slightly closer, still calm.
Hello?
Is someone there?
Nora sat up too.
In the dark you can hear the shape of someone's fear in their breathing.
She whispered.
Is that Maddy?
I knew it wasn't.
Maddy's voice has a rasp at the end of words.
This voice was too clean, too even.
