Ekansh was about to bid me goodnight, but a sudden phone ringtone stopped him in his tracks.
The sound lasted for only three seconds before fading away. I knew exactly where it came from.
Ekansh turned back slowly, his eyes scanning the room in confusion before settling on me.
"What was that sound?" he asked, his brow furrowed.
I let out a sigh, shaking my head in disbelief. "You should get some rest, Ekansh. I think your ears are playing tricks on you," I said, patting his shoulder.

My inner voice whispered to me.
