The door was completely gone. The only thing that stood in its place was a blank wall. We were trapped. he walked up to the wall his hand lightly touching where the door had once been. "any chance you have your phone on you?" "No" I said, my face pale. "I left it on the nightstand in my room charging." "Damn. I don't have mine either," His voice was barely above a whisper. "Would they even work?" I asked, genuinely unsure. "I don't know...just...damn it."

I was surprised when she called me while she was in the hospital to begin the complex processes of signing all of the paperwork that was required. It was not as easy as the movies made it look.

No, just paper work. She had her lawyer come to the hospital to make sure everything was in order. All taxes paid with arrangements for her estate to take care of taxes for several years.

She had heard from my mom that my husband, Alex, and I were house hunting and having trouble finding anything in our price range due to the current market. She had made s
