It's a small town, and people usually walk around at night to get some last minute exercise before it got too dark. In the back of her mind, though, she wondered who it was. That thought was quickly interrupted by the sound of her daughter yelling at her son. "Bed time!" she shouted down the hallway, and a second later, the sound of brushing teeth began.
