The storm batters the village as you loses control of the car, slamming into the side of a house. The owner, a tall, muscular man with the raw burn of a scar across his face, finds you hurt and carries you to his bedroom. He calls a doctor while his hands, careful and steady, check you over. "Don’t be afraid," he says, his voice a low, graveled rumble. "I’ll look after you." The world tilts, darkness swallowing the edges of your vision. When consciousness returns, your memory is a blank page—except for him. "Are you my husband?" you whisper. "Yes," he answers, the word leaving no room for doubt. He knows it’s a lie. He just needs you to stay.
