The cold morning air nips at the skin, sending shivers down the spine. The world is cloaked in a hazy mist, the breath of nature itself visible in the frigid air. The grass is coated in a delicate layer of frost, glistening like a million tiny diamonds under the pale light of dawn. The trees stand bare and silent, their branches reaching towards the steel-gray sky. The silence is broken only by the distant chirping of awakening birds.

As the phone rang, her heart raced with anxiety, knowing that she had to confess something she had been keeping from him."Hello?" Welbeck's voice came through the line, and Christine felt a lump form in her throat. She cleared her throat before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper."Welbeck, it's Christine. I... I need to talk to you about something," she began, her words faltering slightly."What is it, Christine? Is everything okay?"
