Lydia felt a surge of excitement at the thought of finally seeing her parents. It had been nearly three weeks since their last conversation, and her worry for them had intensified.
A nagging sense of unease settled over her, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen.
'Why do I feel this unease? I hope they're okay.'
She sighed loudly, drawing everyone's attention.
Elena raised her brows in confusion at Lydia's sudden shift from excitement to a frown and asked with concern, "Why are you still frowning? Shouldn't you be happy now that you'll be able to see your parents later?"
"Nothing, just a little worried," Lydia replied, her thoughts drifting to her parents.
"They'll be fine. Don't overthink it; otherwise, it will drive you crazy if you keep worrying about them," Elena said, trying to console her.
