I thought it was excellent.  I read a comment by someone that the title was misleading.  I guess they expected the story to be all about Anne.

This was Hannah's story and it was a good one, but also interesting as Anne was a big part of her story and childhood.

I started to go out the office complex through the main entrance by as I was approaching the intersection I da2 flashing lights abd cars backing up, so I made a quick detour through another parking lot and went out the back way, went through a few side streets and drive under the expressway to pick up the eastbound service road

When I got to the entry way to the LIE I saw it was bumper to bumper so stayed on side roads and service roads all the way home

So the side of Vixdad’s car is all dented and scraped, and the guy who hit him is all dented in the hood area

Fortunately a cop was just a couple of cars behind Vixdad so there was no waiting around and  no nonsense about what might have happened or who was at fault

He’s feeling ok and the car is still drivable until he gets the insurance estimate and approval to send it to the body shop

How fortunate. But still, what a pain.
