Daniel was gone.

At first, I assumed he had gone out to get coffee, but his clothes were nowhere to be seen either.

Then I noticed a white envelope on the nightstand.

When I opened it and saw what my new acquaintance had left inside, I deeply regretted that night. 😱😨

Inside was a photograph.

It was a picture of me.

I was asleep in bed, and the photo had clearly been taken during the night without my knowledge.

My hands began to shake.

On the back, someone had written:

“Thank you for a wonderful evening. Forgive me for what I did afterward. Soon you’ll understand everything.”

I reread the words several times and immediately grabbed my phone.

Daniel didn’t answer.

Then I checked my purse and saw that my wallet was still there. My cash and bank cards were inside too.

I was beginning to think I had simply scared myself when I noticed something strange.
