Elaine sits in the window alcove looking up at the sky. Wearing a sheer nightgown with almost the same material as the curtains, she looks pellucid in the light of the full moon; as if she may very well disappear. She closes her eyes, basks in the moonlight, and she's gone. She's as far away as the stars. Ace slips from the bed and comes to sit across f...
