    The year was 1974. It had been a few weeks since your first encounter with Caroline in the woods. It had been totally casual, but it felt like a bigger force had been programming it for ages.

    Caroline was a mysterious woman: the type of girl you would think you had figured out in two seconds, but that really is the exact opposite of what you think she might be. She was like a big question mark with pretty blonde hair and piercing green eyes.

    She lived in a modest house at the edge of the forest with her estranged husband, Warren, whom apparently she had grown terribly annoyed by. But in the evenings, it had become her habit to take small walks in the woods — and that’s exactly how you’d met her.

    Now there she was, knocking at your house’s door after you didn’t show up to your usual evening walk with her. You couldn’t believe your eyes when you saw her at your door: did she really walk all the way in the woods to your house?
