Read the following message.

Dear Farrah and Leo,

For three days we heard nothing from you, and those were three of the longest days I can remember. When your message finally came through, Vincent and I nearly wept with relief. The flood that overran Melfort has been all over the national news, each report grimmer than the last, so knowing that the two of you walked out of it unhurt is the only thing that has let me sleep this week.
