The quick way home is washed out tonight, so the cousins have to take the long way round — and Quinn, who always knows the

way, decides to fold up her map and walk at the back for a change.

What happens when the cousin who's always three steps ahead lets everyone else go first? Jack notices a path the others

would've walked right past. Desmond turns a wrong turn into the best part of the whole night. Leo leads them somewhere

just a little braver than Quinn would've picked. And Quinn finds out the woods stay just as warm whether or not she's the

one out front.

A slow, winding walk home through the Whispering Woods, told the way bedtime likes it — soft, unhurried, with lots of room

to breathe.

Curl up, dreamer. We're taking the long way tonight.
