My mother often told me, “Don’t sit on Grandpa’s lap.” I never understood why. One day, I didn’t listen to her and sat down anyway. Grandpa smiled, leaned close to my ear, and whispered, “Can you come sleep beside me tonight?”

“That’s exactly why I want her there tonight.”

I was standing near the stairs, listening to every word. Then Mom suddenly began to cry.

“But what if tomorrow…”

Grandpa interrupted her.

“Don’t talk about tomorrow.”

A cold feeling went through me.

About half an hour later, Mom suddenly came upstairs to my room.

“Get dressed.”

“Where are we going?”

She remained silent for a moment.

“To Grandpa’s house.”

When we arrived, I was expecting almost anything.

But Grandpa didn’t take us to his bedroom.
