Lying in the dark that night, Adelle wanted to mend her rift with Barb, but she didn’t know how. She had learned the hard way that procrastinating when conflict came up only deepened resentment and made matters worse. Time didn’t heal, it caused hurts to fester.

Adelle heard Barb punching her pillow. "Barb, are you awake?" She heard sniffling. "Barb?"

"I was robbed," Barb replied in a small voice.

"What?" Adelle snapped her bed lamp on. Barb was sitting against her headboard, clutching her father’s sweatshirt. Adelle rushed over to comfort her. "What happened?" she asked as she wrapped her arm around Barb’s shoulders.

"That must have been terrifying!"

"It was." Barb started to shake. "He told me not to turn around for five minutes or he would shoot."

"But you have your phone now," Adelle said, spotting it on the table beside Barb’s laptop.
