HEARTWARMING

SNEAKING SUSPICION
FEELING, HUNCH, IMPRESSION, and SENSE can each name an intuition that something is true, even without firm proof. This is the trickiest overlap: these are not emotional descriptions like the yellow group, but words for an instinctive belief.
LEGAL SESSION
HEARING, INQUIRY, PROCEEDING, and TRIAL are terms for legal proceedings or events.
