“What do you think this means?” I tried to keep my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me.
Dan read the note and then chuckled, shaking his head. “It’s probably just a prank,” he said, dismissing it by waving his hand. “Someone trying to mess with us.”

But I wasn’t convinced and couldn’t shake the feeling that it was more than that. The handwriting on the note looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place it. Dan’s nonchalant reaction only made me more uneasy. Why wasn’t he taking this seriously?
That night, as we settled into our hotel room, I couldn’t stop thinking about the envelope. I kept turning the note over in my mind. The message felt ominous, likе a warning I couldn’t ignore. I tried focusing on the joy of our first night as a married couple, but the note refused to be forgotten.

The words “Run away” echoed in my thoughts, keeping sleep at bay. Early the next morning, while Dan was still sleeping, I slipped out of bed and retrieved the note from my purse. I spent the next hour comparing the handwriting to the cards that accompanied our wedding gifts, but nothing matched.
Panic began to set in. “Was someone trying to tell me something? Was there something about Dan that I didn’t know?” I wondered. Later that day, as we packed for our honeymoon, I noticed Dan’s mother, Evelyn, watching me closely.

Now, what you need to know about my mother-in-law (MIL) is that she’s always been polite but distant and never quite warm. There was something in her eyes now, though, something that made me uneasy. It was as if she was searching for something in me, a sign I couldn’t quite decipher.
I couldn’t help but wonder if she knew about the note. Could she have been the one who sent it? Evelyn had never voiced any outright objections to our relationship, but she had a way of making me feel likе I was never good enough for her son. My mind raced with possibilities!

Finally, unable to stand the tension any longer, I approached Evelyn before we left. “Can we talk for a moment?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. She nodded, and we moved to a quiet corner of the room.
