Abby glanced at Patrick beside her with eyes brimming with tears, and he smiled at her. "Stop crying. You'll ruin your makeup, and it's bad for my grandchild." A sob escaped from her lips, and she wrapped her arms around him. "Keep moving. Matthew might think you don't want to marry him." He whispered. Abby pulled away from the hug and composed herself.

I tried to move my fingers, but even that was futile. I attempted to make a sound, but nothing came out.I gave up and used my sense of hearing to know what was happening around me.
