“Don’t get in, you’ve ruined the brakes!” shouted the boy in dirty, old clothes, covering the door with his body to prevent the newlyweds from entering.

“Dad?” “Ethan? What’s going on? Why are you calling from a different number?” “Dad… Lily won’t wake up.” “What? Where are you? Where’s your mom?” “She’s not here. She left Friday.
