A voice came through the phone.
“911. What is your emergency?”
David’s confidence drained from his face.
Elena spoke clearly enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear.
“My son-in-law is assaulting my daughter inside a crowded restaurant. He has been dragging her by the hair. Please send officers to The Copper Lantern immediately.”
David let go of Maya at once.
But Elena was not done.
And before the night ended, every person in that restaurant would see something David and his mother had never expected.
