Caught Sneaking
Just as I feared, when the adults became absorbed in conversation, Jake and Noah slipped quietly away. I followed at a distance, my pulse quickening, and soon watched them sneak into Sarah’s room as though it were routine. My chest tightened—what were they planning to do inside? Keeping out of sight, I stayed close, determined to see exactly what they were up to before stepping in.

When they finally emerged, I stepped forward and confronted them. “Hey, what were you doing in Sarah’s room?” I asked firmly. Both froze, caught off guard, then quickly recovered with wide-eyed innocence. “We just wanted to play with her toys,” Jake replied smoothly, while Noah nodded along. Their excuse rang hollow, but before I could press further, Emily’s voice called us downstairs. The confrontation ended abruptly, leaving the unsettling matter unresolved.
