Secret Storm

Rory spent the day helping Lily with the art competition, but her mind kept wandering to Ethan.

As she returned to her studio, Ethan's text message awaited: "Hey, want to grab dinner?"

Rory's heart fluttered. "I'd love to."

At the restaurant, Ethan's eyes sparkled as they shared stories and laughter.

But as the evening drew to a close, Ethan's expression turned serious.

"Rory, I need to tell you something," Ethan said, his voice low. "Something about Mark."

Rory's curiosity piqued. "What is it?"

Ethan hesitated. "Mark's been hiding something from me. Something big."

Rory's eyes widened. "What kind of something?"

Ethan's eyes locked on hers. "I think Mark's been sabotaging my storm-chasing equipment."

Rory's jaw dropped. "That's serious!"

Ethan nodded. "I need your help to uncover the truth."

Rory's heart skipped a beat. She was in.

Little did they know, Mark's secret would lead them down a treacherous path.
