Patience. She needs patience. Marcus is out there and she just needs to keep working until he turns up. She’s aware of the disorganization at the shelters. It’s just a matter of time until they catalog everyone correctly and update their records. This is not their first priority. Their first priorities are food, water, and health. Not names. So she will wait. She is good at waiting. She’s been waiting for four years to get married. What’s another day? What’s another week?
