Isabella couldn't shake off the strange feeling that had been gnawing at her ever since she left Hunter that night. She couldn't help but wonder what secrets he was keeping from her and why he was so guarded around her. But she didn't have time to dwell on her thoughts, as Jonathan had been persistently texting her all week, asking her out on a date.

Isabella was hesitant, but she finally agreed to meet him at a local coffee shop. As they chatted over their drinks, Isabella noticed that Hunter was sitting in the corner of the coffee shop, watching them intently.

She felt a twinge of guilt for feeling excited at Hunter's jealousy, but she couldn't help but be drawn to the idea that he had feelings for her. Isabella knew she had to be careful not to lead either of them on, but she couldn't deny the rush of adrenaline that came with the idea of two men vying for her attention.

As she left the coffee shop, Isabella felt a strange sense of deja vu. She felt like she had been to this coffee shop before, even though she had only moved to the town a few weeks ago. As she walked home, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was missing something.

That night, as she was getting ready for bed, Isabella stumbled upon an old photo album that her mother had given her before she passed away. As she flipped through the pages, memories of her childhood flooded back to her. She saw pictures of her and her mother, her father, and her old friends from her hometown.

But then she came across a picture that stopped her in her tracks. It was a picture of her and a boy who looked oddly familiar. She couldn't remember who he was or where she had met him, but she felt a strange connection to him.

As she stared at the picture, she heard a knock on her window. She jumped in fright and turned around to see Hunter standing outside. He motioned for her to come outside, and she obliged.

As she stepped outside, she saw that Hunter had a strange look on his face. He asked her if she found anything interesting in the photo album, and Isabella couldn't help but wonder how he knew about it.

But before she could ask any questions, Hunter pulled her into a tight embrace and said, "Be careful, Isabella. There are things in this town that you don't understand. And there are people who would do anything to get their hands on what you have."

Isabella felt a chill run down her spine as she realized that Hunter was right. There were secrets in her past that she needed to uncover if she wanted to stay alive. And she knew that Hunter was the only one who could help her do it.
