Tension Builds
Left alone in the exam room, the Johnsons found themselves growing increasingly uneasy. Nyx lay peacefully on the floor, seemingly unaffected by the atmosphere, but the family couldn’t shake the sense that something was wrong. Emma fidgeted with her shoelaces while Alex kept glancing at the wall clock. Mr. Johnson paced back and forth in silence, unable to sit still for more than a few seconds.
Grace did her best to stay calm, but her eyes were fixed on the door, willing it to open. “What’s taking so long?” Ethan finally asked, voicing the thought that weighed on all their minds. The uncertainty was unbearable, each passing minute feeding their anxiety and imagination.
