Driving Toward the Unknown

Dave’s engine purred, but inside, he was all nerves—readying himself for the conversation of a lifetime. Balancing his worries with unwavering support, he felt like a tightrope walker braving the heights. But then, a thought barged in uninvited: What if Noa had a plan that didn’t include him? What if leaving was part of the deal?

Uncertainty gnawed at him, fueling his resolve. He slammed the gas pedal, heading home with one goal: answers. His heart pounded as he pulled into the driveway, prepared for a confrontation. As he swung open the door, he found Noa sitting on the couch, cool and collected, like nothing was wrong.
