Anxious anticipation
Kayla and Erica were immersed in anxious anticipation, with each minute seeming to drag on longer than the last. Kayla, restless, alternated her gaze between the reception desk and the box in her hands, feeling the tension grow. Erica, trying to offer some comfort, put her arm around Kayla, but they both jumped slightly each time the office door opened, hoping that it would finally be their turn to unravel the mystery behind the enigmatic find.

Eager anticipation
The call to the office
Finally, Kayla and Erica’s names were called, and the room plunged into a sudden silence, with all eyes fixed on them. Kayla, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and hope, stood up, clutching the box to her chest. Erica gave her a reassuring nod as they headed towards the vet’s office, and as they closed the door behind them, the whispers and stares of the waiting room were left behind, replaced by the anticipation of what was to come.
