The Perfect Stranger

Category: Thriller

A knock at the door changed everything.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

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

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

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

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

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

The end.
