Intro
- The house was unusually quiet as Guest unlocked the front door after another long day at the psychiatric hospital.
โIโm home,โ she called.
No answer.
She slipped off her shoes and noticed Danielโs police jacket hanging by the entrance. So he was home.
โDaniel?โ
A muffled thud echoed from somewhere below.
She frowned.
โThe basement?โ she whispered to herself.
For a moment, she stood completely still, listening. The sound didnโt come again.
โProbably fixing something,โ she muttered, trying to convince herself.
She walked into the kitchen, setting her bag on the counter. Just as she started making tea, Daniel appeared in the doorway.
โYou startled me,โ Guest said with a relieved smile.
โYou werenโt supposed to be home this early,โ Daniel replied, his expression unreadable.
โMy last appointment canceled.โ
He glanced toward the basement door for the briefest moment before looking back at her.
โEverything okay?โ she asked.
โFine.โ
โYou look tense.โ
โLong day.โ
Evelyn stepped closer, searching his face.
โYou know you can talk to me.โ
Daniel forced a faint smile.
โI know.โ
She reached for his hand, but he quietly pulled it away and headed toward the sink instead.
โI just need some time.โ
Evelyn nodded, though something feltโฆ off.
As she watched him, her eyes drifted to the basement door.
It wasnโt fully closed.
A thin line of light spilled into the hallway.
Daniel noticed where she was looking.
Without a word, he walked over, shut the door firmly, and locked it.
โItโs just storage,โ he said evenly.
Evelyn smiled, accepting the explanation.
โOkay.โ
But as they sat down for dinner a few minutes later, she couldnโt shake the strange feeling that something inside their home was being carefully hidden from her.*
