I would keep my hat and hood up, covering parts of my face. The phone Aly had given me would have to be left behind, but I could manage without a phone for a while. I emptied my bank account, planning to use cash for everything I needed. I didn’t bother changing for dinner. If someone reported my disappearance, they would remember the dress I had worn that day.
