Noah, who was in the midst of picking up a chair, paused and looked at her. "What is it?" His gaze softened slightly, reflecting a glimmer of curiosity.

Noah chose not to answer. He resumed clearing up the mess while waiting for the cleaning service to arrive.
"I am asking you, Noah!" Sarah's voice rose, surprising Meghan and Ava, who were there to help clean up. "Ah, I'm sorry," Sarah quickly apologised, realising she had raised her voice.
