Harmonica stood awestruck for a while before finally breaking out of that reverie.
''I don't understand. What do you mean preponed?'' She asked, confusion etched in her voice.
''Due to the severity of the protest, the court has decided to prepone his trial.'' Romano answered, shuffling going on at the other side of the phone.
Harmonica's heart started to beat frantically in her chest.
She pursed her lips, trying to steady herself. ''T—To when?'' She asked, pacing around the corner of the room.
There was silence for a fragment of a moment, Romano not saying anything for a while.
''About two hours from now.''
Harmonica's heart paused for a while immediately Romano's words dropped.
In two hours they were going to know Lucas's verdict?
Harmonica was sure he was going to get a life sentence due to the severity of the protest.
She dragged the phone away from her ear, the world around her getting blurred.
''Are you okay?''
''Hey! Are you okay?''
