Amidst the cacophony of city sounds, a sudden buzz from Emma's phone pierced the air. With furrowed brows, they halted in their tracks, curiosity piqued by the unexpected interruption. Emma's eyes widened as she read the message, a flicker of concern dancing in their depths.

"What is it?" Henry's voice cut through the noise, laced with a hint of worry. Emma's lips formed a silent 'COVID' as she showed him the screen, a knot of apprehension forming in her stomach.

Their hearts sank as the reality of the situation dawned upon them. The bustling streets of New York faded into the background as they grappled with the sudden weight of uncertainty that hung over them like a dark cloud.
