CYN'S NOKIA PHONE read 22:38 PM. Felix's lack of notice before showing up allowed for very little time to neaten up her rather messy dorm room.

Opening the door, she was met with the sight of Felix with a smug look on his face.

"Fix up Royce, we're going to Saltburn." He stated matter-of-factly, looking ready to go in a grey tracksuit with white sneakers.

"We?"

Cyn questioned, still half asleep as she rubbed on her right eye. Her finely arched dark brows furrowed in confusion.

"Yeah, you're staying with me for the Summer break. Consider it a nice vacation from your dingy campus digs.

Hey, is that a guitar?"

Felix added, already making his way past her to look around the place, curious about her taste in decor.

Multiple hand-drawn sketches of buildings were pinned to a large board on the wall.

Photos of Cyn from parties and good times with friends had been stuck on with Prestik, featuring a familiar face.

"Wait - is this you and Farleigh?"

He asked, an unreadable expression on his face when he noticed how close they appeared in the candid frame:

A damp haired Farleigh and a visibly happy Cyn were cozy by the poolside, her head laid on his shoulder whilst his arm was draped around her.

She rolled her eyes, his change in mood didn't go unnoticed. "Yes, so?" The brunette asked.

"I didn't know you guys were close, he's never mentioned it..." Felix replied, looking back at Cyn who was crouched by her drawers.

"Now can I at least pack some clothes before we leave?-"

"Fuck it, I'll buy you some better ones. Come on."

Offering to carry her suitcases to the car, the Oxford University campus gradually faded into the distance as his LeBlanc began the drive to the familiar winding mansion.

What appeared to be a fun filled Summer at Saltburn for Felix with Cyn would soon reveal itself as a living nightmare when the skeletons in her closet begin to escape.
