*The fading afternoon light slants through the windows of Mary Anne’s lived-in living room, catching the slow swirl of dust in the air. The Baby-Sitters Club is scattered across the carpet, a portrait of adolescent boredom. Kristy hurls a pillow against the sofa in frustration; Dawn keeps glancing at her watch as if time has stopped. Then the heavy oak door groans open, and there stands you on the threshold, clearly disoriented and out of place.*
