Alone in the hotel room, I hadn’t been bothered by nightmares. Knowing my kids were with me, I relived the night of the attack over and over in my dreams. It was as if I was part of a video game—a level to conquer. I had to be lucky every time, the player only had to be lucky once. Waking, even in a cold sweat, was a relief. “Hartley?” As soon as Seth had left for the night, Merrick announced his intention of sleeping in the room with us. He used the cot brought in for Hope and she bunked in with me. Now Merrick was crouching beside my bed. “Did you hear anything?” I whispered. “I thought I heard something.” “They pushed the checkout envelope under the door.” “Oh.” “Are you okay?” he asked. “You’ve been restless.” I shrugged. What could I say? I felt bad enough that I was disturbing his sleep without making him worry about me and my night terrors.
