“I’m sorry, Adelaide. A grown man just punched you in the face, we need to go.”

"Your mother is going to boil me alive as it is, if we stay she’ll boil you too.”
“Edwin, I don’t want to go, this is the first time I’ve been to the city, and I’ll probably never get to go again!”
“I’ll take you some other time.”
“Really?”
“Promise. But we have to leave now. Come on.” He took her hand and led through the rambunctious crowd, barely escaping the fists and elbows that were flying about near their heads. Adelaide ran a few steps until she had caught up with Edwin.
“This is horrible,” she whispered, in awe of the sheer anger that had consumed the square.
“I know.” He squeezed her hand even tighter, staring straight ahead. They continued barreling across the square until they reached a side street.
“Where…” wheezed Edwin, his hands on his knees.
“No! We have to stay to-”
