Dead Reckoning

Category: Thriller

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The end.
