Brielle's lips quivered, unable to form words as the world seemed to tilt and blur around her. She tried to push thoughts of Max away, but in the dark of night, memories flooded in, unstoppable.

Brielle chased after the car for a few steps before slowing to a stop, squinting up at the blinding sunshine. The child was the spitting image of Max in every way. The thought of her unborn child flashed through her mind.
