Arranging A Family Dinner
To make sense of everything, I chose to organize a family dinner. I wanted Tom, Sarah, and Ben all present. Perhaps having everyone together would let me catch something I had overlooked before. As I set the table, the atmosphere felt heavy with tension and unspoken doubts. I hoped the evening would guide us closer to the truth, not just turn into another night of uneasy small talk.

The dinner began with an odd mix of meaningless chatter and uneasy silence. It was as if we were all skirting around the obvious. “So, how’s work?” Tom asked Ben, pretending at normalcy. Ben muttered something vague about being busy. Sarah caught my eye, her look confirming we all sensed it—the weight of unspoken truths. No one appeared at ease, suspicion flickering in every glance.
