I click on the notification, and as soon as I read the subject line, I feel a familiar heat slide down my chest and settle like a lead weight in my stomach.
Reservation Confirmation
Wait. For what?
The email is from the rental company I use to book the cabins, but it isn’t for Louie and Mari’s cabin. It’s the west-facing cabin. The one I’d wished I was in last time.
I open the email and scan it quickly, my pulse spiking with confusion and dread. It’s their standard confirmation email—polite, professional, ordinary. But the content is anything but.
The cabin has been reserved in my name for twenty-one days, starting next Friday, the week after this tour ends. My fingers tremble as I scroll down to the payment section. It’s marked as prepaid.
I never made this reservation.
I never would.
After what happened with Saint, I vowed I’d never set foot in that town again. So how is this happening? I feel a chill crawl up my spine as I stare at the screen. I know for a fact I didn’t book this.
I’m trying to make sense of it all when another email notification pops up. This time, it’s from an email address I don’t recognize. My pulse quickens as I click on it, fear and curiosity warring inside me.
The email is short. Too short.
All it says is I think it’s time we start working on your next book, Petra.
