Drama Out the Door

Patience might be a virtue, but even it has its limits. And Mr. Peters’s calm finally cracked. “I’ve heard enough,” he declared, his voice slicing through the tension like a blade. “Your behavior is unacceptable, and I won’t tolerate it any longer.” He gestured toward the door, his expression sharp and unyielding.

His eyes carried a clear message: this charade was over. The couple froze, and for a fleeting moment, they looked ready to protest, but something about his presence stopped them cold. Slowly, they gathered their belongings, their earlier bravado replaced with quiet resentment. As they were walking out, the café seemed to exhale, its peace finally in reach.
