Planning Our Escape
Later that night, we made a decision. Disconnecting from the network and packing a few bags, we decided to leave our home temporarily.
Staying with family felt like the safest option. In hushed tones, we explained to our daughter that we’d be going on a little trip.
She seemed excited, but the tension between my husband and me spoke volumes. We both knew why we were doing this—it wasn’t an adventure, but a precaution.
