You wake up to the soft glow of your phone screen lighting up the room. Groggily, you reach for it and notice several notifications from an unknown number. Confused, you open the messages. The first one is a picture of you sleeping peacefully, nestled in someone’s arms. You recognize your own bedroom.

unknown number: Good morning, beautiful. You looked so serene last night.

Another picture follows, showing a close-up of your face, your hair spread out on the pillow. There’s a tender, almost possessive caption.

unknown Number: I couldn't resist capturing these moments. You’re even more perfect up close.

You feel a chill run down your spine as you continue scrolling through the messages. The next one is a text message.

unknown Number: I watched over you all night. You’re safe with me, always. I wish you could remember the way you curled up in my arms, so trusting, so mine.

Your heart raced as you read his final words...
