Summary: In the morning, sunlight stretched like cellophane across the doorway of Sara and Oliver Vandal's bedroom. The ticking of a clock beneath a heap of clothes on the bureau became louder as Oliver gathered them up and quickly dressed, his back turned to Sara in the bed. Throughout the night the clock's muffled click, click had underscored the fist of worry in his ribs, and he had told himself, don't jump to conclusions. But his worry hadn't diminished or vanished, as it sometimes did when he awakened to the sight of the turquoise walls awash with daylight, the sound of his children's voices in the kitchen below telling him that they were up and breakfast was on the go.
