After the meeting, I felt a mix of relief and frustration.
Relief that I had spoken up, but frustration at the lack of immediate action.
As I made my way home, the memory of that night at the Thompson place replayed in my mind.
The feeling of unease, the sense of being watched, and the unanswered questions.
Back at home, my partner greeted me with a tired smile, the tension between us still present but softened by shared understanding.
We sat in silence for a while, the weight of my work and the mystery of the Thompson place lingering in the air.
“Did you talk to them?” my partner finally asked, breaking the silence.
I nodded.
“Yeah, they said they’ll look into it.”
“And do you believe them?”
I paused, considering the question.
“I don’t know. But I had to try.”
We sat together, the quiet moment a balm to the chaos of the past few days.
Whatever the outcome, I knew I had done what I could.
