"Where is Al?" Ayanna asked as they waited at the foyer for Cara to come down.
"He still hasn't left his room." Ray frowned as he pulled his wife into a hug.
"He must want to say goodbye to her." Ayanna frowned as she looked up the stairs.
"Ayanna. . ." Ray sighed as he heard a commotion upstairs.
They both looked up, worried that something bad had happened.
"I'll go check it out." Ray offered as he climbed up the stairs.
"Alrich Lawrence, open this fucking door and say good bye to me!" Cara's voice echoed through the hall.
Ray could hear her sobs even from where he stood.
"Cara, he hasn't come out in two days." Ray heard Eric sigh as he stood next to the young woman. "Uncle Ray has tried everything to get him to come out, but he won't."
"I'm leaving today." She cried out. "How can he not say goodbye?"
Eric pulled Cara in his arms and slowly patted her back as she cried.
