Then there was a click , as if someone picked up .

I heard my mothers voice say , Evie ! as if in a panic .

Then there was a loud crash in my ear .

Mom ! No answer .

Either she had smashed her own phone … or someone had taken it from her and broken it .

In denial , I pulled my phone from my ear and tried to call again .

Please hang up and try again .
