What Is Emily Hiding?
Mark sat alone in the living room, the shadows around him growing longer as night crept in. His mind spun with questions, each more unsettling than the last. What secret did Emily carry about his life, and why had she kept it hidden? Could it be something from before his blindness? Or worse, something she deliberately chose to never reveal? Every shared moment they’d had now seemed like a possible lie.
He imagined a dozen scenarios—some rational, others completely implausible—but each brought with it a creeping sense of betrayal. Had she known something during all those years of caring for him that she intentionally kept buried? Was there an agreement, a truth, or a crime buried in their past? Mark wasn’t just questioning Emily anymore—he was questioning his own memories and identity. The paranoia that once focused on her now turned inward, raising fears about who he really was.
