Now that she’d been awakened, she felt too hot inside her sleeping bag. “It was somebody breaking one of the windows downstairs.” They’d been best friends since kindergarten, so Jody’d had about ten years of experience with her histhonics.

The room was dark, but she could see Evelyn looking down at her from the bed. She opened her eyes, rubbed them, yawned. Probably so did the hand shaking her shoulder.
