Ich habe meine Flucht minutiös geplant. Aber das Schicksal hat andere Pläne Heute ist der Tag. Die Sachen, die ich gepackt habe, sind versteckt und ich warte auf grünes Licht, um die Schlüssel für das neue Haus abzuholen. Ich bin so nah dran, Justins Launen, seinem Alkoholkonsum und seinen gewalttätigen Tendenzen zu entkommen, die immer schlimmer werden. Seine Versprechen, sich zu ändern, bedeuten nichts mehr und ich muss von ihm wegkommen. Aber es wurde gerade ein landesweiter Lockdown angekündigt.

Schließlich sitzen wir doch alle im selben Boot, oder? Irrtum. Justin hat mich jetzt genau da, wo er mich haben will, und die mindestens drei Wochen mit den staatlichen Beschränkungen liegen vor mir wie eine klaffende Leere.
