smiling. And he smiled down at her.
Maybe, Erin thought, she wouldn’t have dessert after all. Her stomach felt funny.
Back in their hotel room, Mommy was still smiling, still humming the dance music. She stopped long enough to get Jenny undressed and read them both a story. Jenny, as usual, fell asleep before the story ended.
But Erin stayed awake, listening, even after kissing Mommy good-night. She heard Mommy and Daddy Matt talking in the other room, and then laughing. And then there was music again. She didn’t have to see through the door to know they were dancing.
Erin turned over and put her pillow on top of her head. That drowned out the music. But she felt like she heard it in her head. And she saw Mommy dancing, even with her eyes closed.
In Erin’s head, though, Mommy danced with the right person. She danced with Daddy.
But Erin was old enough to know that if her dream could come true, she wouldn’t be crying herself to sleep.
