A
Introduction to 'Before You Were Mine'
It was clear from her eyes that she knew something I didn’t, but she refused to tell me. The night was silent except for the faint rustling of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. I could feel the presence of a secret hanging heavily in the air. She looked at me with a sly smile, as if she knew a story I was not yet ready to hear. Every word she said seemed to hide a meaning, a hidden truth just beyond my reach. I wondered what she was hiding, and why she chose to keep it locked away. The shadows lengthened as the moon cast a ghostly glow on the old street, amplifying the feeling that something unseen was lurking nearby. I knew that whatever she was hiding, it was linked to my past, my identity, and perhaps, a mystery I had yet to uncover.
