Whispers and Glances
The more I paid attention, the stranger Jake and Noah’s behavior seemed. They often huddled together, whispering in low tones, darting glances around as if hiding something. “What are you two up to?” I asked lightly, hoping to sound casual. They snapped upright far too quickly. “Nothing, Uncle Luke,” Jake replied with forced innocence. But my instincts told a different story. Their secretive glances and hushed talks only fueled my unease, stirring a growing tension that I could no longer ignore.

Sarah’s Growing Discomfort
It wasn’t just me noticing changes—Sarah began acting differently too. She seemed nervous, pulling away from Jake and Noah whenever they were near. Watching her closely, I tried to make sense of her behavior. “Do they bother you?” I asked one evening. She lifted a small shoulder in a half-shrug, avoiding my eyes. “I just… don’t like them much,” she murmured. Her uneasiness was infectious, strengthening my own doubts and solidifying my determination to uncover the truth behind her discomfort.
