A Strange Call
While Loretta was outside taking out the trash, she noticed Nicole on the phone, her voice low and tense. Nicole’s usual cheerful tone was replaced by hurried, anxious whispers. Loretta didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but the sudden change in Nicole’s demeanor made her pause.
Curious and concerned, Loretta took a step closer, pretending to organize the bins. Nicole’s words were hard to make out, but the serious expression on her face and the way she looked around made Loretta’s instincts kick in—something wasn’t right.
