1. Bethany Had Something Important to Say

Robe had no idea that Bethany was about to say something that would completely change the way he looked at her. For the past few days, Bethany had seemed unusually quiet and distracted. She was not acting like herself, and Robe could tell that something was bothering her.

One afternoon, Bethany finally decided that she could not keep everything inside anymore. She asked Robe to sit down with her because there was something important she wanted to discuss.

Robe looked at her carefully. He could immediately tell from her expression that this was not going to be an ordinary conversation.

Robe was surprised by what he heard. He knew Larry very well, and he also knew that relationships between Larry and Bethany had not always been simple.

Bethany looked directly at him before answering.

Robe immediately became uncomfortable. He had expected Bethany to ask him for advice, but there was something different in the way she was speaking.

2. Bethany Reveals Her Wish

For several seconds, neither of them spoke. Robe waited for Bethany to explain what she really wanted.

Bethany slowly took a breath. Her voice became quieter as she finally opened up about the feelings she had been hiding.

Robe did not know how to respond. He could see that Bethany was serious, but he also knew that whatever she was asking could create problems between people who were already connected.

Bethany did not hesitate.

Those two words made Robe even more nervous.

He started thinking about Larry. Larry was his friend, and Robe did not want to become involved in something that could destroy their friendship.

Robe looked at Bethany again. He wanted to understand exactly what she meant, but something inside him told him that asking too many questions could make the situation even more complicated.

3. Robe Realizes How Serious It Could Become

Robe leaned back and remained silent for a moment. His mind was racing.

If Larry ever discovered that Bethany had come to Robe with this request, Larry might misunderstand everything. Their friendship could suffer, and Robe did not want to be caught between them.

Bethany noticed that Robe was struggling to respond.

Bethany nodded, but there was still determination in her eyes.

Robe said nothing.

Bethany slowly stood up and walked toward the door. Just before leaving, she stopped and turned around.

Robe watched her walk away.

The door closed behind her, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

He kept thinking about her words. What exactly was Bethany asking him to do? Why had she chosen him? And why did she seem so certain that he could change her situation?

4. The Strange Dream

Robe sat there for what felt like a long time.

His mind continued replaying the conversation again and again. Bethany’s voice, her expression, and the mysterious request would not leave his head.

Eventually, Robe became exhausted.

He went to his room, lay down on his bed, and closed his eyes.

Within minutes, he fell asleep.

Then something strange happened.

Robe suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around the room in confusion.

Bethany was nowhere to be seen.

There was no conversation. No closed door. No one sitting across from him.

Robe slowly sat up.

He looked around again and realized the truth.

Robe rubbed his face and tried to calm himself down.

For a moment, he almost laughed at himself. The entire conversation had felt so real that he had completely forgotten he was asleep.

But then he noticed something that made him stop.

His phone was lying beside him.

5. The Message That Changed the Mood

Robe picked up his phone.

There was a new notification on the screen.

For a second, he thought it was probably an ordinary message. But then he noticed the name o
