Sarah eyed her with sympathy. "I'm sure you feel guilty, but it's fortunate that you weren't with them."

"Fortunate? I wonder. Maybe if I'd been with them . . ."

"If you had been with them you couldn't have done anything to prevent the accident. I read about it. The storm was so bad and there was no warning light."

Lisa frowned. "Yes, there is a light on North Street."

Sarah looked uncomfortable. "But I'm sure they were on another street. I can't remember the name of it, but I think I would have remembered North Street. That's the one the old hospital is on, isn't it?"

Lisa stared at her. Dad had taken a short cut then. No wonder he didn't see the light. "I didn't read the paper. I just thought . . ." Again she saw Nick's face in the car window. "I'd rather not talk about it."

Sarah nodded. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. Of course - it's too soon."

She put a gentle hand on Lisa's shoulder. "Why don't you go take a nice warm shower? I'll lend you one of my night gowns and find some clothes for you to wear in the morning. I'll show you where you can sleep."
