"I don't have the time."
Hannah gripped the phone with both hands and felt her heart trembling.
Since Ralph wanted to meet, she would oblige since she had not seen him for days.

On Ralph's side, he only recalled wanting to chase after his mother after he hung up since she had
secretly visited Alexander's house when Ralph was asleep.
Ralph wondered why his mother would want to go there and if she wanted to warn Alexander.

Ralph felt something was amiss but could not pinpoint it.
