The art gallery was a haven of carefully curated chaos, but tonight, Liam found himself ill at ease. He was enjoying the exhibit, and as the only person in this part of the gallery, he thought he was alone. But as he turned to look at a new piece, he noticed the woman at the far end of the hall. He had seen her earlier, and she had a particular way of moving, a subtle sway that was familiar.

She approached him slowly, and she began to speak, her tone low and measured. The expression on her face made Liam's pulse quicken. He knew what she was going to ask, and he knew he did not want to answer.
