The girls are finally asleep. I have waited until I hear no more giggles coming from the tiny bedroom. Now I have taken out the Santa presents, and they are scattered on the apartment's scarred hardwood floor. I sit in the narrow dining room, which gives me a good place to hide as well as a view of the hall. It's hard to put the girls to bed on Christmas Eve. "Will Santa come, Mommy?" Suzanne asks me every year. "Will he really come?" And I know what she's asking. She's not asking about Santa. She's asking about Daddy. "Santa will come, honey," I tell her and add silently, Daddy won't.
