"Oh?" Now that has to be a difficult situation to be in, stuck in a city that you can't leave when you have a child. She's been having a difficult enough time with just knowing her sister and mother are back home. She doesn't know what she'd be feeling if her child was back home. What the heck does a parent do when something like that happens?

"How old is she?" Lucy asks, thinking too late that that might be a little too much information for someone that this man doesn't really know. "That must be hard, to be away from her. Unfortunately, not even a cell phone would help you in that situation. I've tried to call people back home and it does nothing but ring busy."
