Learning the Truth

Poul stared at Penelope, trying to make sense of their words. The air was thick with tension, and he could feel his heart racing as he struggled to keep up with the conversation.

Poul leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Penelope and Sara as they spoke. "Wait, let me get this straight," he said in a hushed tone,. "You saw the news on your phone and rushed there?"

He could feel his heart racing as he spoke, and he knew that the others could sense his unease. Despite his efforts to remain calm, he was struggling to come to terms with the news.

Sara nodded, her eyes fixed on the ground. Poul could see the worry etched into her features, and he felt a pang of sympathy for her.

"Why did you do that?!" he snapped, unable to contain his frustration any longer. He placed his hands on her shoulders and squeezed, trying to make her understand the gravity of the situation.
