David noticed Emily across the room at a public meeting and braced himself for the inevitable confrontation. He waited patiently until she was alone before striding toward her with purpose. “Emily,” he called out, his voice firm but edged with tension. She turned to face him, her expression an impenetrable mask. “I need answers,” he said, his words quivering with restrained emotion. “Why are you doing this?” Emily met his gaze with a calm, almost detached composure, unfazed by his urgency. “In time, everything will make sense,” she replied, her voice soft, barely above a whisper.
