Unsettling Encounter
As I watched Lily leave, there was something unsettling about her calmness. It wasn’t just annoyance or defiance—it was like she didn’t care.
That made me want to look deeper. ‘Hey, Liam,’ I called, ‘anything about Lily you think I should know?
‘ He shrugged, ‘She’s been through a lot, but it’s not my place to say more.’ His words made it clear that I’d have to dig beyond this chat.
