Noah stood outside his car as he ran a hand through his hair, making it all the more disheveled than it already was. Frustration and helplessness filled his face and he stared at the apartment longingly. Although he had expected this outcome after what he had done, he was still disheartened and he could not stop the sadness and loneliness from engulfing him until it started to suffocate him.
"Noah, don't lose hope." Joshua attempted to comfort him, unable to see his friend in such a situation.
Even though Noah had not given away much, he could more or less guess that Oliver's words held some truth in them. Otherwise, Noah would not have returned this soon to apologize to the father and the daughter duo.
