she took practically everything but the kitchen sink with her, Sandra’s things shouldn’t get in your way. I expect there are some nonperishables left in the kitchen, but we’ll get you supplied with whatever you like later today.”

“Just next door.” He looked at his watch again. “Try to get some sleep this morning and I’ll check back with you around noon.”
