“Get out of the fucking car!” someone shouts. “LILY!” Dad screams. Everything happens so fast. Mom tries to reverse and run them over, but an arm swoops through her broken window, caging her by the collarbones and pulling her against her door. He’s wearing a black ski-mask. I unbuckle, reach over, and spray his eyes. “Fucking bitch!” he swears, not letting go of Mom, not even as she fights harder against his iron-like hold.
