The Wi-Fi was down, the dog had tracked mud throughout the house, and now, Liam discovered a small crack in the back of the linen closet. His patience, already stretched thin, threatened to snap. He'd been looking forward to a relaxing evening. Instead, it was one disaster after another.

He traced the outline of the crack with his finger. A small section of the wall felt loose. He dug his nails into it, and a panel dislodged, revealing a tiny, hidden room. He slumped against the wall, his shoulders sagging with defeat.
