Spoken words must shock to make an impact.
This must be describing Ian Preston now.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly... made it official???
To everyone, he and Thea Lynch just had a simple sibling-like relationship.
No one knew when they got together, and the protagonists skipped directly to discussing marriage.
How shocking!
When Thea Lynch returned, she felt the atmosphere was a bit off.
It was slightly more somber compared to before she left, but that wasn't the main issue.
The crux of the matter was that some people were looking at her strangely.
Not openly, but with cautious sneaky glances, and when she noticed, they'd hurriedly look away, avoiding eye contact.
Very strange...
Thea Lynch didn't know what happened, but her intuition told her that something significant occurred in the few minutes she was gone.
She wasn't sure what everyone had discussed, but it seemed the topic was undoubtedly her.
