I’ll give him a call.” He picked up his cell phone and called to ask for advice from someone with more experience. Meanwhile, David and Sarah exchanged expectant glances. Finally, amidst the uncertainty, a thread of hope emerged. They waited, confident that more information would provide answers to the puzzle that was bothering them.

When the call was over, Sarah turned to David and suggested: “How about a coffee while we wait? Maybe that will help calm the nerves.” He laughed and agreed, “Yeah, that sounds good, thanks.” He watched her prepare the steaming cup as the aroma filled the room, bringing comfort amidst the tension. It was like a silent gesture of sharing, an acknowledgement that they both felt the same fear and excitement about the unexpected situation.
