“Freya, look at your Mommy’s phone, what time is it?” Marcel asks.

The ambulance is taking too long,” Marcel tells me as I run with him to his car. I sit in the backseat and buckle up, then Marcel slides mommy onto the seat with me. Her head rests on my lap, but when she moves, I see blood from her back.
