“What? Alright, I’m on my way!” Whitney’s face turned pale as she bit her lip. Her uncle had been sentenced to prison overnight, how could be possibly accept this turn of events?

She gently laid Ludwik back on his pillow, her hands twisting anxiously. He was now sound asleep – had it been ages since he last slept properly?

By the time he woke up, she figured it should be a few hours, and by then, she should be back.
