The house was quiet, bathed in the dim glow of moonlight filtering through the large windows. Everything seemed still—eerily so—but beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension simmered. Remo paced silently in the study, his thoughts consumed with the recent turmoil that had unfolded. Abby's erratic behavior, her paranoia, and the increasingly strained conversations weighed heavily on him. Something wasn't right, and despite her protests, he knew deep down that whatever was happening went far beyond stress or recovery from the hospital incident.

There was a darkness behind her eyes, something that chilled him to his core. And then there were the whispers, the subtle hints she dropped that suggested she believed someone was out to get her.
