Roxanne sat with Grace and Martha in the cozy living room, surrounded by books and warm lighting. Jaxon had gone out for a ride, leaving Roxanne to her own devices. She tried to focus on the book in her hands, but her mind kept wandering back to her family. She couldn't concentrate on the words, her thoughts consumed by worry. She sighed continuously.

Jaxon's face was set in a determined expression, his eyes fixed on the road ahead."No, no, no, not again," he muttered to himself, his voice laced with frustration and worry.
