As her sister drove Shonda to the police station, questions ping-
ponged through her mind. Where had Sam and his cousin really
been? How did they even come in contact with the police? What
is this 'misunderstanding"? Sam had never been involved in any
trouble, much less legal trouble. Did she really know Sam?
A scene flashed into Shonda's mind. Her wedding day. Shonda
looked beautiful in her wedding dress with the long white train
trailing behind it, and Sam looked as handsome as he ever had.
They smiled as they recited their vows.
As she reflected on this day, Shonda's heart began to slow and
she smiled for the first time since the phone had rung.
In this portion of the narrative, the author uses a flashback to develop the
relationship between Shonda and Sam. However, the flashback does not address the
questions that Shonda asks in the paragraph before it, making the character's
response in the paragraph after the flashback illogical. Rewrite the flashback scene,
so it develops the relationship between the characters seen later in the story. (15
