Unexpected conversation
She seemed surprised to see me, but after a moment’s hesitation, she agreed to talk during her lunch break. We found a quiet spot in the nearby park. “What’s this all about?” she asked me, her tone reserved. I wasted no time and went straight to the point: “Why are the kids avoiding me?” Linda looked away, clearly uncomfortable, and shifted, as if looking for a way out. “It’s complicated,” she said at last, echoing Michael’s words, before adding vaguely, “There are problems to be solved.”

Cautious answers
Her cautious answers only accentuated my unease, each word from her seeming more enigmatic than the last. “What problems?” I insisted, but she remained evasive. “It’s not something I can talk about right now,” she replied, avoiding my gaze. A feeling of frustration came over me, realizing that the truth still seemed out of reach. I left the conversation, heavy-hearted, with even more unanswered questions, and a growing despair gnawing at my insides.
