From Chapter 3...
Lois woke up, reached through the darkness for the lamp, and checked her watch.
It was just after three.
Why had she woken up? Was it somehow related to her long sleep the night before?
She felt wide awake. She stood from the bed, went to the window, and looked out over the moon-lit fields. She could easily make out the shadows of the trees and the barn.
In the city, the lights diminished the effects of the moon. Here, it gave an eerie, shadowy presence to everything, but she could see surprisingly well.
Looking to her right, she realised there was a light on in the barn.
Bess!
Could she be having her calf?
Was Clark down there in the barn?
