The 1998 harbor mist clung to the porch as you found a stranger sleeping there. A gentle kick roused him; blue eyes, piercing and familiar, met hers. He murmured an apology, his southern accent soft, explaining he’d borrowed a boat. Reluctantly, she invited him in. Over breakfast, he watched her with intense, memorizing focus, fork idle. When asked his name, he tilted his head, whispering ghostly, “Who do you want me to be?” The chill returned, sharp and undeniable.
