"So, he *loves* hiking?" Chloe repeated, her voice a little too high. Across the table, Liam was enthusiastically describing their first date: a scenic trek up a local mountain. Chloe had gone hiking with "Daniel" last weekend. They had also loved hiking.

The restaurant’s soft lighting seemed to suddenly shift, casting everything in a disorienting glow. A cold sweat erupted on Chloe’s palms. She picked at the label on her wine bottle, her fingers tracing the words repeatedly. She thought she was going to be sick. How could two people both love the same obscure trail?
