Nindy forced a nervous laugh, her fingers hovering over her phone to silence it. "Oh, it's nothing, just a spam call, probably," she said, avoiding Fara's sharp gaze.
Fara wasn't convinced. "Spam calls don't usually make people look like they've seen a ghost," she replied, crossing her arms. "Who's really calling, Nind?"
Nindy felt her throat tighten as the phone went silent, only for it to buzz again a moment later. She could feel Fara's eyes drilling into her. Her heart raced as she grappled with the dilemma: tell Fara the truth about Sean or protect her from the emotional chaos it might stir.
"It's... uh, it's Sean," Nindy finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Fara's expression darkened at the mention of his name. "Sean?" she echoed, her tone a mix of confusion and irritation. "Why is he calling you?"
