“I still have something to take care of tonight, just a quick trip. I’ll be back early tomorrow morning,” Ben explained.
“Almost married, and you’re still such a workaholic?” Mrs. Lucas sighed.
Ben glanced at Jamie. “The client in T City insisted on a meeting. It’s been scheduled for a while, and I can’t cancel.”
Jamie smiled gracefully. “Go ahead then. The sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll be back. Just be careful.”
“Gonna miss me?” Ben teased, a playful glint in his eyes.
“Stop it. Of course not,” Jamie replied, tugging at the corner of her mouth in exasperation.
As she walked him out, Ben looked around to make sure no one was watching before leaning down to press a quick kiss to her forehead. “Wait for me.”
Jamie shook her head, amused, and nodded lightly. “Alright.”

The trip was short, just about an hour away. Ben had barely checked into his hotel when there was a knock at the door. A waiter stood outside, holding a tray with two glasses of wine.
“A complimentary treat for our anniversary celebration—premium vintage wine for our guests to enjoy,” the waiter announced politely.
“Come in,” Ben said, his sharp gaze briefly assessing the man before he allowed him inside. A faint, unreadable smile appeared on his lips. “Anniversary celebration, huh? Why aren’t there any posters or advertisements for it outside?”
The waiter hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile. “We haven’t had a chance to put them up yet. Please enjoy.”
Ben didn’t press further and watched as the waiter left. He shut the door, placed the tray on the table, and lay down on the bed.

In the middle of the night, faint shuffling sounds came from the door.
