Otherworld Nights (2014)
“Peyton’s big sister, Piper, looked up from her homework.
“What?”
Peyton pointed at the window. “A wolf. Out there. He was watching me.” She tugged one pigtail. “He watches me a lot. I think he’s lonely.”
Piper scrambled off her chair, put her hand to the glass, and cupped it to peer into the darkness.
“He’s kinda hard to see,” Peyton said. “Because he’s black. But he has blue eyes. I can always see his eyes.”
Their brother, Pearce, walked in, sneering. “Yeah, a blue-eyed black wolf. She saw a d...og, Pipe.”
“No, I saw a wolf. He’s right—” Peyton pressed her nose to the glass. “He’s gone. But it was a wolf. He was really big.”
“How big?” Piper asked.
Peyton lifted her hand to the top of her head.
“Uh-huh.” Pearce turned to Piper. “Dog. Wolves are smaller than Mrs. Lee’s German shepherd. And they’re gray with brown eyes. She’s a baby, Pipe. She imagines things.”
“I’m not a baby! I’m almost five and I go to school.”
