He hung above the edge of the roof as he watched her walk outside and glance first one way down the street and then the other.
“It is all right now. You may come out of hiding. The boys are abed,” she said to the air around her.

He watched the top of her head as she sighed and tapped a foot. “I am waiting . . .”
Where had this enchanting creature been all his life? He could not help himself—he chuckled and then clutched his mouth with his hand to stifle it, but it was too late.
Wendy whipped her head up and gasped as she stared directly at him.
