Another Chance

Despite her anger, Brittany concluded that perhaps Henry was just tending to his sick child. So, she figured it wouldn’t hurt if she called him again in the afternoon. Maybe he had a valid reason after all, and she was just jumping to conclusions!

The most reasonable way to deal with her emotions was to give Henry a hard deadline. If he failed to respond or contact Brittany by 9:30 p.m. that night, then she would get the authorities.  Much to her dismay, Henry continued to ignore her messages and phone calls – there was no turning back now.
