Trisha followed suit, and they both got started on going through the progress reports. They spread out the papers and documents, diving into the details. Trisha pulled up the most recent reports on her laptop, while Dashiell shuffled through stacks of paperwork, despite his injured leg.
As they worked, the room was filled with the soft rustling of papers and the occasional murmur of discussion. They compared notes, pointed out discrepancies, and brainstormed possible explanations for the sudden problems.
Despite the seriousness of the task, there were moments of light-hearted banter between them. Dashiell made a few jokes about his crutches being his new best friends, and Trisha couldn't help but laugh. They were both fully engaged, driven by the need to unravel the mystery and get the project back on track.
