They ran.
The Five Whispers of AngelsLove

"May 23, 2027. If I am gone, find them. Evelin (the librarian's girl). Elle (who gave me soup when I had nothing). Holly (who planted roses on my son's grave). Molly (who sang at my wedding). And... the one I never had the courage to be." we're not leaving
Silence.
They did not crash. They landed like feathers.
