Years later, on a quiet evening, Lily and Rose sat together on the porch of their shared house, watching their children play in the yard. The wind rustled softly through the trees, carrying with it the peacefulness of a life they had rebuilt from the ashes of their past.

Rose: "Can you believe how far we've come?"

Lily: "Sometimes it feels like it was a different life altogether. Like we were different people back then."

Rose smiled, leaning her head on Lily's shoulder. They had become more than just friends or co-parents—they were family now, bound by more than just circumstance.

But as they sat there in the fading light, Lily's phone buzzed with an unexpected message. She hesitated before opening it, her heart racing. The message was from an unknown number:

"You thought you knew everything, but there's one more secret. Check the envelope in the back of the photo album. - D"

Lily's blood ran cold. Damian had disappeared from their lives for good years ago, or so they thought. She exchanged a glance with Rose, who had noticed the change in her expression.

Rose: "What is it, Lily?"

Without a word, Lily stood up, rushing inside. She grabbed the old photo album from their high school days, the one they had tucked away years ago. In the back, taped carefully between the pages, was a small, sealed envelope they had never noticed before.

Hands trembling, she opened it. Inside was a single, folded piece of paper. As she read the words, her face went pale.

Rose looked at her, concern etched across her face.
Rose: "Lily... what does it say?"

Lily's voice was barely a whisper as she replied:
Lily: "He wasn't just seeing us. There's someone else... and they're coming."

The peaceful evening shattered around them as a cold realization set in: their story wasn't over. The secrets they thought they had buried would soon rise again.

The real secret was never about the past. It was about what's still to come.
