Category: Thriller
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
The end.
