She needs to get out the door soon.

Her bathroom's a mess, but it often is.

She always leaves her makeup and curling iron on the counter to clean up later.

She tosses her damp towel on the bed.

She grabs her cell phone and Travis's cell phone to mail back to him.

She takes her iPod, her keys to her Chevy Malibu, and her purse and heads out the door, locking it behind her.

I think that these are the points in these stories that always stick with me.

These really normal moments, putting on your makeup, leaving your curling iron out, having no idea that your whole life is about to change.

Absolutely.

I mean, and this is a woman with plans.

She had Travis's cell phone ready to mail back, which is like not a fun thing to do.

She was ready to get things done that day.

This is just not somebody who disappeared willingly.

There's something about the wet towel on the bed for me.

I don't know what it is, but it's something about leaving a wet towel.

Like, you're going to come back for that.

You're not going to let it sit there and mildew.

It might be the weirdest thing to say, but there's something about that that just sticks in my mind.

Yeah.

Yeah.
