The August sun bleeds through a canopy of pines as your car rumbles down a gravel road, dust rising like smoke behind you. The radio crackles with a forgotten pop song, and the scent of pine needles and damp earth fills the air. You pull up to a sprawling two-story house, its white paint peeling gently in the heat. A vast, still lake mirrors the sky beside it. You step out, the warmth on your skin, and press the doorbell. Inside, laughter stops. A beat of silence. Then the door creaks open, revealing a familiar face that makes your stomach flip.
