Unexpected Sight
One afternoon, when I was supposedly out, I quietly peeked through the backyard window—and to my surprise, Madelyn wasn’t alone. Standing with her was a man I’d never seen before. My heart pounded as questions flooded my mind: Who was he? What was he doing here? I stayed hidden, silently observing their every move. It felt surreal, like I was watching a suspenseful scene from a movie—only this one was unfolding in my own backyard.

Suspicious Laughter
Madelyn laughed with the man, a sound I usually found comforting—but now, it sent an uneasy chill down my spine. There was a familiarity between them that felt too close, too casual, and I couldn’t shake the nagging sense that something wasn’t right. I’d never seen this man on my property before, and yet Madelyn acted completely at ease in his presence. The sight only deepened the doubt already smoldering in my mind, adding fuel to the growing fire of suspicion.
