Morning came quietly in the house. The sun came in through the curtains, but no one felt peace. The house looked calm, but tension filled the air.Ryan woke up early. His body was still weak from the hospital, but his mind was awake. He sat on the edge of the bed and breathed slowly. Clara slept beside him, but her sleep was light. Ever since Ryan returned, she hardly slept well.From the sitting room, footsteps could be heard. Someone was moving back and forth.It was Uncle Grey.He had been acting this way for days now.

Anytime someone came close, his voice dropped or the call ended suddenly.Clara noticed it. Ava noticed it. Mrs Harrison noticed it but said nothing. Mrs Knight noticed it and pretended not to care.The house was full of questions.Ryan stood up slowly and walked into the sitting room. Uncle Grey was standing

The house was quiet that night, but sleep did not come easily. The lights were off, yet Ryan lay awake, staring at the ceiling. Eric’s words kept playing in his head again and again.“You should have died.”The words felt heavy. They were not spoken like an insult alone. They sounded like something else. Like regret. Like anger mixed with disappointment.Clara lay beside him, facing the wall. She was awake too. Ryan could tell from her breathing. It was slow, but not deep. She was thinking.Ryan turned slowly and whispered, “Clara.”She replied softly, “Yes.”There was a short silence. Ryan did not rush his words.“What Eric said today,” Ryan began, “did it sound normal to you?”Clara turned to face him. In the dim light from the window, she could see his eyes. They were serious. Searching.“No,” she answered honestly. “It did not sound normal.”Ryan nodded slowly. “It sounded like he expected me to die.”Clara swallowed. “I thought the same thing.”Ryan sat up a little. “People

Ryan moved slowly down the hallway, every step careful, every breath quiet, the house was asleep, or at least pretending to be asleep, the lights were off, the air was heavy, and his heart was still beating fast from what he had just heardHe did not want anyone to hear him, not Uncle Grey, not Mrs Harrison, not even Clara, so he removed his shoes and held them in his hand, walking softly on the cold floor, his body was still weak from the hospital, but fear and confusion gave him strengthWhen he reached his room, he opened the door gently and closed it without a sound, he leaned his back against it and closed his eyesHis mind would not restThe words kept repeatingThe documentsThe truthThe secretHe moved to the bed and sat down slowly, rubbing his face with both hands, his head was full, too full, he felt like everything was spinning“What documents,” he whispered to himself, “what truth is she hiding”He lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, the room felt differen
