"Yesterday, I was out in the woods looking for my missing pack when I stumbled upon you in that car, all tied up," William explained, his tone serious. "I need to know, who were those people, and what were you doing with them?"

William's expression softened as he reached for a tissue and gently wiped away Stella's tears. "Do you have any idea why they did such a thing to target you?" he asked, his voice gentle.
