I was practicing my Listening. Okay, it was the dead of night, but there was less distraction. Right now, I was focusing on my brother's slow, steady heartbeat in the living room.
Suddenly, it changed. I realized he must have woken up.
I frowned as he got off the couch, and went to the kitchen.
He opened a cupboard so quietly I almost didn't Hear it. Then he took something out.
I smiled suddenly in realization.
Looked like Mouse hadn't eaten the missing food, after all.
Gotcha, I thought, and closed my eyes to drift off to sleep in triumph.
