The sea breeze whipped around Beatrice Beecham as she stepped onto the promenade overlooking Dorsal Finn Bay, the salty air a familiar comfort. Below, the fishing boats bobbed gently, their lights twinkling like scattered jewels on the darkening water. It was a picturesque scene, one that tourists adored, but Beatrice knew better. She knew the whispers that clung to the sea mist, the unspoken truths that simmered beneath the town's charming facade.

Her phone buzzed, pulling her from her thoughts. A text from Lucas. "Dinner ready?" he teased, despite being just three feet away in their shared kitchen back at the house. Beatrice chuckled, a familiar warmth spreading through her, a stark contrast to the chill that sometimes crept into her heart when she pondered the town's deeper, darker secrets. The aroma of roasting lamb drifted from the open kitchen window, beckoning her back to the mundane, yet she paused, her gaze lingering on the distant, churning waters of the Atlantic. A prickle of unease, faint but persistent, danced at the edge of her perception. Dorsal Finn was quiet tonight, almost too quiet, and Beatrice knew that in their town, silence often heralded the arrival of something anything but.
