Tense visit
The visit was tense, with suspicion and unspoken words hanging in the air. Alex and Kelly arrived at Carlos and Maria’s home, each step feeling heavier than the last.
‘Thank you for seeing us,’ Kelly said, breaking the ice. Carlos gave a curt nod, while Maria shifted uneasily.
‘Let’s not beat around the bush,’ Alex said, aiming for directness. ‘We need to talk about everything—now,’ he added firmly.
