Anxiety and doubt fill him
Mark waited outside, filled with anxiety and uncertainty. Every noise, every movement in the shadows made him anxious. His heart pounded, every moment dragged with pain. He questioned his own mental sanity, wondering if such monitoring was necessary. However, the fear of what he might find kept him firmly in his position. The anticipation was overwhelming, the silence suffocating, intensifying his inner turmoil. What could Emily have been doing in that place for so long?
Emily’s secret return
When she returned, she appeared even more cautious, carefully avoiding any questions about her whereabouts. Mark watched her as she passed him, his countenance an expression of control. She entered the house quietly, exhibiting a cautious demeanor. He led her inside, trying to decipher any signs or indications. However, Emily was a closed book, her behavior generating more questions. Every lack of response from her intensified his growing sense of suspicion.
