I listened at the bedroom door until I heard Daniel’s breathing settle into the slow, steady rhythm of deep sleep.

I pulled my slippers on, walked quietly down the hallway, and stepped into the home office at the back of the house.

The computer monitor was dark, but the small power light on the lower edge blinked amber every three seconds.

I sat in the swivel chair, moved the mouse to wake the screen, and clicked on the browser icon.

The login page for Community First Bank came up right away, with the password field blank where Daniel had cleared the saved settings the night before.
