I even feel bad for Leah, that she’s going to come home from

Romania to find her childhood home burned to the ground.

Jessica and I are silent, taking in the awful sight as we climb out of

the SUV.

However, we get straight to work, handing out supplies and helping the doctors set up a triage tent to sort patients before sending them on to the medical annex–which luckily seems to have escaped any damage or monitor them shifting and healing for less serious wounds, before allowing them to leave and help
