Ezra hung up the phone and glanced over to Susan, who wore a chiseled mask of apprehension on her face. In retrospect, he regretted asking Grace if she wanted to talk to her mother, though he was surprised sheâd said no.
âShe didnât want to talk to me?â Susan asked dryly. His wife had been listening next to Ezraâs ear as he chatted with Grace, but she didnât speak up during the call.
âYou heard what Grace said. She needed to go; sheâs driving. She said to send you her love.â Grace and her mother had been at odds since she moved to Wyoming, and their recent calls were strained, at best. Susan was a saint, at least in Ezraâs eyes, yet she did have one blind spot about being overprotective of Grace. Losing her daughter to a job in the wilderness was one factor in the stormy return of Susanâs panic attacks, and some of their calls got heated with name-calling; things Susan later regretted in private, though she was too stubborn to tell her daughter. All that seemed like another lifetime to Ezra.
âWell, thank the good Lord sheâs okay,â Susan said, visibly relaxing.
He wanted to shift tracks as fast as possible, so he held up the piece of paper with notes on it. âWeâve got to give this to Babs. I want to finish what I said Iâd do, then leave her to it. Weâll hunker down in here and see what happens out there.â
âAre we going to warn people?â Susan pointed to the phone. âGrace said everyone needed to find shelter for whatâs coming. The neighborhood and county roads are filled with people lost, bewildered, or fleeing the destruction.â
She was right, except he didnât know what to do about it for those on the outside. The thing he knew with certainty was how to take care of Susan. Theyâd use Rogerâs basement when the time came to stay alive during the next impact. Once the debris fell to Earthâassuming they survivedâheâd make good on his promise to travel to Wyoming and reunite with Grace. The good news was he no longer had to worry about a moving truck.
He came up with a plan. âGrace said we have until tonight. Letâs use our time to tell the neighbors about whatâs coming. If Babs keeps her nose out of it, we can probably convince some of them to prepare. Weâll see whatâs possible for the people on the road as we get closer to nightfall. Sound like a plan?â Ezra smiled like he was posing for a portrait.
âDonât think I donât see what you did. When will you learn you canât pull one over on me?â She put her hands on her hips to show her displeasure, which was a posture Grace had also perfected.
He wasnât sure what she was talking about. âI didnât clap this time.â
âNo, youâre afraid for me. Iâm not upset she didnât want to talk, you know. Sheâll talk to me when sheâs ready. Nothing I said back then was wrong.
