A Suspicious Call
One morning, Emily received a phone call that immediately unsettled her. Mark, seated quietly at the kitchen table, noticed the shift in her expression. She glanced briefly at him before answering and spoke in hushed, tense tones. Though the words were few, Mark heard just enough—“urgent,” “discretion”—to realize something serious was happening. Her restlessness sent a wave of curiosity through him.
Emily’s tight grip on the phone and her anxious pacing around the room confirmed Mark’s suspicion. He had never seen her so visibly shaken. The conversation didn’t last long, but its emotional weight lingered in the air. Mark couldn’t ignore the gut feeling that this was the beginning of something bigger. He knew he needed to get to the bottom of it.
