Linh hesitated, not wanting to seem silly. But then she pointed to a dark alleyway nearby. "I thought I saw something moving in there," she whispered.
Tuan and Hoa exchanged skeptical glances, but they humored Linh and walked with her to the alleyway. As they approached, they realized it was just a stray cat darting through the shadows.
As they walked away from the alleyway, Linh couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being watched. She glanced back, but there was no one there.
From that day on, Linh still enjoyed watching scary movies, but she faced her fears with a newfound sense of courage and appreciation for the people who were there to support her.
