It fell silent, and a wave of sadness spread throughout the room, growing stronger by the moment. Even Wilda, the leader, was quiet.
People weren't afraid of despair itself, but rather getting a glimpse of hope when within that despair, only to have that hope quickly dashed. That was what it felt like now. Nothing was harder to bear than having the means but not the time.
Noticing the heavy silence, Candace felt a twinge of guilt. Perhaps she had been a bit too harsh with her words.
After pondering for a moment, she said, "Actually, there might be a way..."
Everyone glanced over quickly. They didn't say anything, but a glimmer of hope was clearly visible in their eyes, even though it wasn't very strong yet.
