Drew followed me, his voice soft and pleading, "Nina, wait," he tried to apologize. But his words barely matched the determination burning inside me. I couldn't pause now - not when I was so close. "We can talk later," I replied sharply, unfazed by anything he said, because I needed clarity. His apologies blew away on the wind as I concentrated on finding out everything I needed to know.

Curious onlookers

As we passed through the doors of the clinic, I noticed the looks of mixed confusion and discomfort from the staff. Our presence seemed like an unexpected scene, a private conflict thrust into the public eye. I ignored them and kept walking, determined to unravel the mystery Drew had woven around me. The uncomfortable spotlight didn't matter - the important thing was to get to the bottom of it.
