Whispers of a Second Chance
Helena answered, her voice a mere whisper.
The words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken implications. My jaw dropped, my mind refusing to accept the truth. Daryl, engaged? To that woman?

She was trying to understand my reaction, to gauge my level of understanding, to see if I could grasp the gravity of the situation. She was looking for a sign of comprehension, a flicker of empathy, a hint of shared concern.
