The fog rolled in like a living shroud, muffling the crash of waves below the jagged cliffs. Lena's boots crunched on wet gravel as she and Theo hurried along the narrow path, flashlights slicing yellow beams through the gray.

"This was a bad idea," Theo muttered, his breath fogging the air. His fingers brushed hers accidentally—or not—as he steadied her over a slick rock. They'd been friends since scraped knees and shared secrets in this same coastal town, but tonight's anonymous note had dragged them here: *Meet at the overlook. Or the truth about your parents dies with me.*

Lena's heart hammered, not just from the chill wind whipping her scarf. She glanced at Theo's profile—sharp jaw clenched, eyes scanning shadows. Why had *their* families vanished twenty years ago? The note knew too much.

A silhouette flickered ahead, near the rusted safety rail. Theo froze, shoving Lena behind him. "Stay back," he hissed. The figure turned, hooded, and rasped, "You two... always together. Like back then." Gravel shifted underfoot as it lunged.

They bolted, Theo's hand clamping hers like a vice. Thorns tore at their jeans through brambles; briny spray misted their faces. "Theo!" Lena gasped, lungs burning. He spun her into a crevice, bodies pressed close, his heartbeat thundering against her chest.

In the cramped dark, his whisper cut the roar of the sea. "Lena, if we don't make it... I should've said it sooner. You're not just my friend." Her pulse spiked, warmth flooding despite the cold stone. Lips parted to reply—

Footsteps scraped closer. The hood emerged from the mist, glinting with a blade's edge. Theo tensed. "Run!" But the figure laughed low. "The secret's out. Your parents didn't leave—they're waiting. For you both."
