"Daddy?" she says again. It's late, much later now, morning actually, and the things (DISAPPEAR HERE) which I don't think happened seem like dreams, insubstantial nothings.

"What is it darling?" I ask her. I'm at the back door, wondering why the security clasp isn't fastened and why the kitchen window, which also backs on to the garden, is open. "Did you play with the door?" I ask, smiling.

"No."

Relief washes over me. "Good girl," I say, wondering how I managed to leave it in such a state.

"It played with the door," she says flatly. "Not me. It."

Pause. A beat.

"It wants to come in," she says - is she smiling? - "It wants to come in now, daddy. At least the door's open."
