The Message in the Mist

The mist had always spoken to Lisa Hargrove, though she'd never expected it to save her life.

Standing at her kitchen window, watching the gray veil roll in from the Atlantic, Lisa felt the familiar pull of the sea calling to her restless soul. The old lighthouse perched on the rocky outcropping beyond her cottage had been her only neighbor for three years now, its weathered white tower standing sentinel against the endless horizon.

She'd moved here seeking solitude after the chaos of her divorce, drawn by the wild beauty of this forgotten stretch of Maine coast. The real estate agent had warned her about the isolation, the brutal winters, the way the fog could swallow the world for days at a time. But Lisa had seen only peace in the mist, only freedom in the solitude.

She had no way of knowing that the lighthouse held secrets, or that the mist carried messages from beyond the grave. She couldn't have imagined that a love story was about to unfold—one that would teach her the difference between passion and danger, between romance and warning signs she'd learned too late to recognize in her marriage.

As the fog thickened around her cottage, Lisa made herself a cup of tea and settled into her favorite armchair by the window. Soon, she knew, the lighthouse beam would begin its nightly rotation, cutting through the darkness like a blade of hope. It was a sight that never failed to comfort her, this reliable rhythm of light and shadow.

She had no idea that tonight, the lighthouse would begin sending her a message that would change everything.
