"Leave, just leave..." Maybe Noel wasn't entirely wrong. He just wanted to survive.

replaying the scene of Casper's car tumbling down the cliff. The scene was too shocking lever since the accident, she dreamt about it every night. Brock, unaware of what had happened, snuggled in Eliza's arms, playing with his action figure.
The conference room door suddenly swung open. Zach walked in.
Eliza lifted her blank eyes toward him, her pupils shrinking.
