Wesley nodded with a smile. “I’ll leave you two alone then.”

Hope felt scared thinking about it.

Hope shook her head. “No, he was wearing a mask. It all happened so fast, I couldn’t get a good look at him.”

Maia narrowed her eyes. Why would anyone wear a mask on a hot day like this?

Seeing him so anxious, Hope quickly said, “I’m fine, Dad. Have you seen Mom yet? How is she?”

“She’s fine, and all she needs is rest. Thank God that the two of survived the accident!” The incident was too much for an elderly man like Homer.
