The weight of the warm blanket, the soft glow of the bedside lamp, the gentle rhythm of her own breathing… Emily felt utterly at ease, ready for a restful night. Her body felt light, and her mind was clear.

Emily shot up, her heart pounding in her chest. She glared towards the wall of the house next door. This wasn’t going to be a restful night.

She buried her head under her pillow, hoping the noise would fade away.
