The world tilted slightly on its axis as she hummed, twirling a strand of her hair. "The carnival was the most fun I've ever had! Especially the Ferris wheel, right, Tom?" she asked, her voice light and airy.

Tom stared out the window, looking detached. "It was... alright."

Tom shifted uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact. "I wasn't there, Sarah. I was with my family."
