Kyla, sensing the tension, swept a strand of hair behind her ear and offered a soft, reassuring smile. "Noah, Samuel mentioned you were feeling out of sorts, and I couldn't help but worry," she said, her voice laced with concern. "Is it still about the incident with Sadie and the drinking? I messed up. I wasn't thinking straight. I'm really sorry," Her words were smooth, her demeanor empathetic, yet internally, she harbored a flicker of resentment towards Sadie.
