Rain poured heavily as Lily hurried home. She didn't expect anyone at the door this late.
Opening it slowly, she gasped. A mysterious stranger stood there, soaked but smiling. Who was he? Why did he know her name?
Her heart raced. She wanted to ask questions, but words caught in her throat. The stranger only smiled wider.
"What… what are you doing here?" she finally stammered.
He only whispered, "You have no idea what's coming."
Lily froze. Something about him felt familiar, yet completely unknown. The rain kept pouring, masking the sound of her racing heart.
For the first time in her life, Lily realized that
this night would change everything.
