Airport project!”
Hearing this, Liza gasped. “Is that true?”
Marina nodded confidently. Knowing that Liza wasn’t up-to-date with online news, Marina added, “Grandma,

The disturbing news she had just heard kept her heart pounding in her chest, refusing to settle.

to reality. She paid the fare and stumbled out of the vehicle in a daze.
As she entered her home, bathed in a soothing yellow Light, she felt a hint of relaxation. But that respite was
short-lived as a shrill voice pierced the tranquility.
“Keely, what's happening online? Didn't you promise everything would go smoothly? Why has public sentiment
turned?”
Jane Powell's approach was a harbinger of an impending headache for
Keely. She responded, “Aunt Jane, please don’t questionnow. | will figure out a solution...”
