Mark and Cecilia scoured all the places where Edwin might have gone.
As dusk fell, the situation grew even more dire.
Mark pulled over and bought a sandwich for Cecilia.
She had been answering numerous phone calls. She felt drained and slouched back in her seat with teary eyes.
Mark urged her, “I know you must be hungry. Please, try to eat something.”
She looked at him with cold, resentful eyes.
