I was racing down the freeway. Weaving through traffic. Driving on the shoulder when necessary.

“Ayla, don’t go inside,” I begged. “I’m twenty minutes away.”

I heard a car door shut on the other end of the line. I knew she was going into the house.

“Ayla,” I kept trying to get her attention.

“Theo,” she finally responded, “they’re not here. Something’s not right.”
