"Dad? Can you hear me?"

The voice that spoke those quiet words was instantly familiar: it belonged
to my younger daughter. Which meant, presumably at least, that the slim hand
which held a damp cloth to my forehead was hers as well. Slowly I managed to
pry my eyes open--and found myself looking directly up into another pair, as
large and brown as my own. I might have been gazing into a mirror--except that those
eyes were framed by a slightly round face covered with soft beige fur. A face
that wore an expression which was at once concerned and exhausted.

I smiled--or tried to, anyway. "Hello, sweetie," I said.
