The ferry sliced through gray mist, salt spray stinging Lena's cheeks. She clutched the railing, wind whipping her scarf across a face she'd altered with subtle makeup and a new haircut. Below deck, her forged papers waited in a locked bag—Lena Voss, no longer the runaway heiress.

Home soil loomed: jagged cliffs of her coastal hometown, where waves crashed like accusations. She stepped off, boots crunching gravel, the air thick with fish and pine. A man in oilskins waved from the dock—Uncle Harlan, his eyes squinting against the haze. 'Lena? That you, girl?'

Her pulse spiked, throat dry as sand. 'It's me,' she lied, forcing a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Harlan clapped her shoulder, calluses rough like old rope. 'Been too long. Your ma's waitin'. But folks been talkin'—strange woman matchin' your description spotted up north.'

The family house smelled of damp wood and stewing clams. Ma hugged her fierce, flour-dusted apron scratching Lena's coat. 'We thought you gone for good after the scandal.' Pa grunted from his chair, newspaper rustling, hiding his gaze. Dinner chatter flowed—lost jobs, town gossip—but Lena's fork trembled when sister Clara leaned in. 'Saw a photo online.

Footsteps creaked downstairs. Clara's voice, sharp: 'She's not who she says.' Lena froze, beam catching her reflection in a cracked mirror—eyes wide, the alias cracking. A knock rattled the door. Harlan's gravel tone: 'Lena—or whoever you are—we need to talk about your father.'

The knob turned slow. Fog outside swirled thicker, swallowing the moon. What had Pa hidden that pulled her back into the lie?
