Laughter That Eased the Doubts

The moment Dave saw Noa, something didn’t sit right. There was a subtle shift in her energy—she’d slip away for phone calls, a behavior that was entirely out of character. The nagging sense of unease stayed with him while their weekend plans went on as usual. What was she hiding? The question circled in his mind, urging him to confront it.

Noa’s laughter, light and genuine, melted away his doubts. At that moment, the weight on his chest lifted, replaced by a relief. He convinced himself that her heart was still his and that all the worries were figments of his overactive imagination. For now, at least, peace has returned.
