Conspiring Against Her

Emma’s fingers gently constricted around Linda’s clammy hand. She couldn’t ignore the palpable tension in Linda’s demeanor. Concerned, she spoke softly, “Everything okay? You seem to be really anxious about something.” Linda remained silent, her eyes locked on Chris and his mother’s conversation.

She couldn’t shake the paranoid notion that they were clandestinely plotting against her, her mind concocting scenarios of harm and betrayal. The unease in the room was palpable, casting a shadow over what should have been a joyful gathering, as Linda’s apprehension threatened to eclipse the evening’s happiness.
