“They’re just a bunch of idiots. Did they really believe they held power? Ridiculous.” He shook his head in frustration. “I believe you know how to handle them.”
Gerry, anticipating this, already had a solution in mind.

Phillip gazed through the window at the woman lying in the ICU ward. Scenes of all the time they had spent together shed in his mind, breaking his heart all over again.
Sean reached out and patted Phillip on the shoulder. “It’s not your fault, Phillip. None of us noticed that something was off. We couldn’t have known.”
