When nobody sits with you: making friends again, sentence 6
When friends whisper and stop as you walk over, the worried brain fills the gap with the worst story; sometimes, like for Ella, the whisper was a birthday surprise, so asking beats assuming.
Who acts: friends, you, worried brain · What happens: whisper, stop, walk over, fill, be, ask · To what, where: gap, birthday surprise
