The Twins' Afterstory
Prompt 42: Tip Tap

They never did live close enough to be able to visit each other at night after the nightmares kept them awake and tap on the other's window or door a little more loudly than the branches going tip-tap tip-tap in the breeze. Instead it was the phone going ring ring in the darkness of the night, and the whispers exchanged from miles apart.

But otherwise it was the same effect. They couldn't snuggle together but they could talk into the wee hours about anything and everything – all those things they didn't have time for during the brighter, more flurrying day.
