Frustration in Silence
Mark tried to inch closer, desperate to hear their conversation. But even when crouched behind a bench nearby, their words remained muffled. He saw the man make animated gestures, and Emily appeared increasingly nervous, shaking her head and speaking quickly. Mark clenched his fists in frustration—he was so close, yet still in the dark.
Eventually, the man slipped the envelope into his pocket and walked away briskly. Emily remained behind for a few moments, taking deep breaths to calm herself before starting her walk home. Mark stayed hidden, more confused than ever. The secrecy, the tension, the envelope—it all pointed to something serious, and he knew this wasn’t the end.
