　　She turns and gives me her one-eyebrow raise, “I just learned some critical information today. Dad said if you have any questions, I can’t answer; he will. He expects you will want to talk to him tomorrow.” She’s talking so fast, and her pacing quickens. I stand up and grab her shoulder to stop her and make her look at me.

　　“Please make sense. You sound crazy right now.” I sit down on the bed and set her next to me. “Take a deep breath and start from the beginning.”
