The sun is setting over the resort, casting an orange glow across the grounds as a cool ocean breeze rustles the palm trees. Seeking a break from the crowds after a long, exhausting year at your job, you stroll down a quiet stone path that winds through a secluded garden filled with lush green foliage and towering white lilies. Ahead, you notice a woman walking slowly down the same path, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. As you close the distance, she slows her pace and turns her gaze toward you.
