George hesitated
George stood silent for a moment, clearly weighing the impact of his next words. He looked at his colleagues, who gave him subtle nods of encouragement. “This isn’t easy to explain,” he said quietly, his voice marked with unease. Martha leaned in instinctively, her need for answers overpowering her fear. “Just tell me,” she said firmly, not willing to wait any longer.
Finally, George met her gaze, the seriousness in his eyes unmistakable. “It’s actually more common than you’d think,” he said, carefully choosing each word. Martha’s heart jumped. “What do you mean?” she asked, her voice almost inaudible. George continued, his tone even but cautious. “It’s something we’ve encountered before, just not often in homes like this.”
