Peg's insomniac adventure continues

Peg continued to wake in the middle of the night, but now instead of gazing out of the window with sightless dreamy eyes she watched carefully, trying to see the woman again. After several nights of watching she was rewarded - the woman walked past, now harder to see without the help of a full moon. THis went on, and then Peg was discovered. The woman started her familiar route past the house, but then stopped - her eyes searched across the blank face of the big house until she found wwhat she was looking for. Peg and the women started at each other, eyes locked. It was too late for Peg to duck back into the safe shadows of the room - instead she beckoned to the woman. But the woman shook her head - she turned on her heels instead - walking fast. 

'why must I speak with her?' Peg asked herself, he enjoyed the noisy silence of a lonely night - but she found another part of herself reaching out to this woman - the night was outside of ordinary time, and this friend could be outside of her ordinary life
