As dusk descended, the outside world grew darker.
Hannah had spent the entire day confined to her room and felt the urge to take a walk. Upon opening the door, she found Bryson outside, moments away from knocking.
Their eyes locked in silence, and Hannah’s instinct was to shut the door.
However, Bryson raised his hand, preventing her from closing it.
“We need to talk,” he said.
Hannah regarded him with a touch of irritation.
“What else is there to discuss?”
Bryson’s response was cryptic.
“There’s a video. I believe you’ll want to watch it.”
Hannah maintained a moment of silence before stepping aside, allowing Bryson to enter the room.
He settled beside her, retrieved his phone, and presented her with the video.
The video portrayed Declan in a hospital bed, with a crucial segment capturing Valery confessing to bringing the drug to him.
As the video played, a tumultuous wave of emotions coursed through Hannah’s heart. She closed her eyes briefly, attempting to regain her composure, before returning the phone to Bryson.
“Got it,” was all she said.
Bryson couldn’t help but be tempted to tease Hannah each time he observed her composed expression.
“Would you Like me to forward the video to you as evidence?”

Hannah’s response was curt, her tone cool.
“No, it’s my business.
I’ll handle it myself.”
“Is that so?”
Bryson rose from his seat, taking a couple of steps closer to Hannah.
Wariness flickered in Hannah’s eyes as she vigilantly stepped back.
“What are you doing?”
A tense standoff ensued. After a prolonged gaze at Hannah, Bryson spoke, his tone enigmatic.
