The door became a floor not quite three feet off the ground.

Perfect. Then I padded, sifted and slammed through every bedroom drawer, searching for the matching top. I found three more pajama pants but not pajama shirts, matching or otherwise. After digging a long-sleeved thermal undershirt from the hamper, I clicked through nightwear ads.
