Mom appears.
She flicks on the light
and I squint my eyes
at the brightness.
"Ava?
Are you okay?
I thought I heard music.
Were you playing music?"
"Sorry, Mom.
I came down to have cocoa.
I turned the CD player on.

She reaches out
and hugs me.
"Why are you shaking?" She asks.
"Did I scare you?"
There's no way I can tell her.
"I guess a little.

Ready for bed."
She keeps her arm
around me
and we go upstairs
together.
"You sure you're okay?" She asks
when we get to my room.
I smile.
"Better than ever."
