In My Desperate Time

"Ask her here. She hasn't recovered yet, so she can't go to the police station with you."

Frances says in a low voice.

Frances who stands aside speaks up for me.

"It's not true. There's a child in Whitney's car. We are his parents. Jane is his mother. Do you think a mother would do this regardless of the safety of her own child?"
