Psychological thriller 🚨
Nothing is as it seems...
"As we all carried on, there was the sound of footsteps entering the restaurant. Finally, a customer I thought to myself. It had already been an hour of the day and no one new had come in, and as much as I love the company I had, it was a bit boring.
As we all looked up to greet the customer, we realised this person really was new. I had never seen him before, and I knew practically everyone around here, even if I just knew the face.
This face though... Was different."

Secrets, Lies And Broken Hearts
"Are you happy?" The question comes out of nowhere and throws me off guard... Because 3 months ago, before he attended that party, I would have said yes I'm happy... But right now, I'm not sure. "What do you mean?" "It's a simple question June... Are you happy?" "Y-yes." "Let me rephrase... Are you happily married?" "Why are you asking me all these questions?... I've given you the answers you needed, I don't..." "Shut the fuck up June!... It's a bloody simple question... Are. You. Happy?" he snaps. He's really mad right now and that makes me squirm in my seat. "Are you?" My voice comes out barely above a whisper, but enough for him to hear what I said... He stands and begins pacing, running his hands through his hair frustratedly and messing it up, his jaw locked, and he just continues to pace and that makes me uncomfortable... I stand, and he stops pacing and just stares at me, I try to look as confident as I can, but inside I'm nervous as hell and dying to know what he's thinking. "I'm not..."
