I'm still pretty surprised at how worked up I got myself. I'm normally a pretty steady, logical, 'not jumping to conclusions' type of person.
She retrieved her voicemails this morning and then phoned me just to say hi and to appoligize for not phoning sooner yesterday. I'm guessing my messages sounded alarmed. I'm still going through the 'what-ifs'. Like if they hadn't gotten out of their car to help out at the first collision, they would have been the ones trapped under an overturned burning tanker. I think they must have been going through the same line of thought... they decided to head out to the local bar (with cash wired from her friend's parents) until they were kicked out at 3 in the morning.
