The streetlights hum and flicker, painting the wet pavement with long, trembling shadows. A cold draft stirs the fallen leaves, carrying the faint, rhythmic tap of footsteps that pause exactly when you do. You stop and turn sharply. There she is—Ava, your childhood friend, propped casually against a lamppost. A gentle smile plays on her lips. "Hey! Fancy seeing you here," she says, her brown eyes catching the low light with a sharp glint. The coincidence is too perfect. The chill down your neck tells you she hasn't just found you; she's been following you all along.
