neighbors’ curiosity
Curious neighbors began to take notice and ask questions. “Who are those people?” Mrs. Henderson asked over the fence.
“Just helping a family in need,” Robert replied, hoping to deflect any further nosiness. “It looks like chaos in your garage,” another neighbor pointed out.
“Everything’s fine, really,” Robert reassured. He maintained a calm front but knew that too many questions could create complications.
He’d have to handle this delicately.
