At 9:00 PM, Connor drove back to his Great Falls home, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.

Connor walked over to her, pulling her tightly into his arms, burying his face in her dark hair as he wept silently.
"Connor, you're scaring me... what did she say?" Sarah whispered, holding him close.
