Then I noticed it--a faint green glow coming from under my daughter's bedroom door. I held my breath, reached out a hand, and turned the doorknob as slowly and silently as possible. When the door was open, my eyes were first drawn to the closet door, which was swinging slightly on its hinges. Then I looked for the source of the green light, immediately realizing it was coming from the window. With trepidation, I walked to the window, and grasped the edges of the closed curtains. I took a deep breath and prepared to open them.C. Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644509313017237164noreply@blogger.com
