“You think that’s enough?” he asked, a hint of skepticism in his voice.
“It’s a start,” I replied, conviction growing despite my uncertainty.
He nodded, a silent acknowledgment of the complexity we both faced.
“Alright,” he said finally. “Let’s see where that leads.”
As I left the meeting, a sense of relief mingled with the unresolved tension.
It wasn’t a perfect solution, but it was a step.
In the end, it was all about finding a way to navigate the gray areas.
