I can't leave her to face all these troubles alone.

To make matters worse, the manager isn't done causing trouble. It may just be in everyone's best interest if we make an unscheduled road trip to another state, where we can build a new life. All we want is a fresh start, far from the terrible memories. If we can survive the journey.
