Facing Reality
We met privately with Mark and laid out the test results, facing reality. ‘This… verifies everything,’ Mark remarked, astonishment in his voice. The paper wavered in his grasp, proof of the reality as unsettling as we had anticipated. Everything felt weird, like an unexpected detour in a voyage meant to be enjoyable. Now questions arose, complicated layers spreading before us, and skepticism grew stronger with each passing instant.

Mark’s Turmoil
Mark struggled with questions that haunted him. ‘When did Lisa intend to tell me?’ he pondered aloud, agony engraved on his face. Each question created confusion, with emotions churning in a tempest of distrust. His struggle was palpable: a guy seeking clarity in the midst of betrayal. ‘I just wish I knew,’ I repeated, hoping to offer comfort but knowing that only time would provide the answers. We sat, taking in the enormity of it all.
