Shirley felt a dull, searing pain in her belly. But that was her secret, and she kept it to herself.

Okay.
Upon returning home, Shirley quickly took out the medicine the doctor prescribed her. She shook out a few pills into her palm and tilted her head back to swallow them. Then, she lay on the bed, gently touching her belly, and drifted into an unconscious slumber.

Around 10 oclock on the seventh of June, Sabrina arrived at Mathias International Airport carrying a suitcase.
Bettie came to see Sabrina off.
The flight was scheduled to depart at 11:30, make two transfers, and arrive at Philade after over 20 hours of travel time.
Bettie accompanied Sabrina to check in her luggage. They navigated the security check and settled in the waiting area.
Around eleven oclock, the passengers lined up at the boarding gate, ready to check their tickets and board the plane.
As Sabrina prepared to depart, Bettie realized they wouldnt see each other for several months, which weighed heavily on her. Bettie embraced Sabrina tightly, her voice trembling as she said, When you get there, make sure to call me often. And if things arent going well, please come back.
Will do, Sabrina assured.
