Just as things seem to deepen between them, an unexpected visitor—Kent—appears, bringing tension and unanswered questions. The night ends with Maya walking away, but with a growing sense that Stephen's world is far more complicated—and dangerous—than she realized. The secrets are just beginning to unravel.
