Calm
down
,
Mom
,
"
I
said
in
my
most
soothing
voice
,
walking
slowly
away
from
Alice
.
I
wasn
’
t
sure
if
I
could
lie
as
convincingly
with
her
eyes
on
me
.
"
Everything
is
fine
,
okay
?
Just
give
me
a
minute
and
I
’
ll
explain
everything
,
I
promise
.
"
I
paused
,
surprised
that
she
hadn
’
t
interrupted
me
yet
.
"
Mom
?

Be
very
careful
not
to
say
anything
until
I
tell
you
to
.
"
The
voice
I
heard
now
was
as
unfamiliar
as
it
was
unexpected
.
It
was
a
man
’
s
tenor
voice
,
a
very
pleasant
,
generic
voice
-
the
kind
of
voice
that
you
heard
in
the
background
of
luxury
car
commercials
.
He
spoke
very
quickly
.
"
Now
,
I
don
’
t
need
to
hurt
your
mother
,
so
please
do
exactly
as
I
say
,
and
she
’
ll
be
fine
.
"
He
paused
for
a
minute
while
I
listened
in
mute
horror
.
"
That
’
s
very
good
,
"
he
congratulated
.
"
Now
repeat
after
me
,
and
do
try
to
sound
natural
.
Please
say
,
’
No
,
Mom
,
stay
where
you
are
.
’
"
"
No
,
Mom
,
stay
where
you
are
.
"
My
voice
was
barely
more
than
a
whisper
.
"
I
can
see
this
is
going
to
be
difficult
.
"
The
voice
was
amused
,
still
light
and
friendly
.

Why
don
’
t
you
walk
into
another
room
now
so
your
face
doesn
’
t
ruin
everything
?
There
’
s
no
reason
for
your
mother
to
suffer
.
As
you
’
re
walking
,
please
say
,
’
Mom
,
please
listen
to
me
.
’
Say
it
now
.
"
"
Mom
,
please
listen
to
me
,
"
my
voice
pleaded
.
I
walked
very
slowly
to
the
bedroom
,
feeling
Alice
’
s
worried
stare
on
my
back
.
I
shut
the
door
behind
me
,
trying
to
think
clearly
through
the
terror
that
gripped
my
brain
.
"
There
now
,
are
you
alone
?
Just
answer
yes
or
no
.
