The man in the white shirt

Chapter 1: The Unexpected Visitor It was a warm summer evening when Anna sat in her small apartment on the outskirts of town. The sun was about to disappear behind the rooftops of the city, and the last rays of light bathed the apartment in a soft, golden light. She had worked throughout the day and wanted to take some time for herself. But there was an undetermined longing in the air, a tingling feeling that she couldn't ignore. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Anna jumped up, her heart beating faster. Who could that be at this time? She opened the door curiously.
