The long weekend trip with Ross and Amy's family came to an abrupt and unsettling end.
What should have been a relaxing getaway was instead overshadowed by an incident that none of them had been prepared for.
The mood had shifted completely. Silence filled the air, thick and oppressive, as they sat together, each lost in their own thoughts.
They anxiously watched the news, bracing themselves for any mention of what had happened.
But, to their immense relief, nothing was reported.
Still, they knew.
No words were exchanged, yet an unspoken pact had formed between them.
What had transpired would never be discussed. Not among themselves, not with anyone else.
This secret would remain buried, locked away forever.
To speak of it would be to bring shame upon the family—an unbearable disgrace none of them were willing to face.
