The Secret From The Night Of The Accident
Nobody slept.
Not Steve.
Not Sophia.
Not Stanley.
Not even Mr. Tom.
The words lingered like a curse.
"If Richard learns what happened the night of the accident... he'll come for Sophia too."
Sophia sat frozen beside Steve's bed.
Trying to understand.
Trying to breathe.
Trying to make sense of a sentence that made no sense at all.
Why would an accident from twenty-five years ago involve her?
She wasn't even part of their lives back then.
She hadn't even met Steve.
So why?
Steve had fallen asleep.
Or rather...
Exhaustion had dragged him under.
The doctors insisted he needed rest.
The truth was simpler.
His body was running out of strength.
Outside the room.
Stanley stood alone.
