Monday’s Quiet Revelations

Monday morning hit like a jolt of caffeine—only it wasn’t exactly the wake-up call Dave was expecting. Dave found himself commuting to work alone—a rare occurrence. Meanwhile, Noa took a cab to her so-called “Wellness Wonderland.” Her recent bursts of anger had left him wondering if this was her way of creating distance.

As the hours passed, Dave’s mind couldn’t help but think of Noa’s strange behavior. As he mulled over Noa’s peculiar behavior, a plan began to form in his mind.
