**78.** “I wish you could understand how I feel sometimes,” Grace responds, equally emotional.
**79.** “I wish I were home,” Liam says quietly at that exact moment.
**80.** The words seem to echo, overlapping in the crowded produce aisle.
**81.** Liam’s vision suddenly goes black, as if the whole store was swallowed by night.
**82.** As he slips away, he tries to say it again, voice trembling, “I wish I—”
