Inside Marissa's Heart
The sun's warmth enveloped them, painting the landscape with long shadows against the colorful scenery.
Marissa looked at Lara with a mix of curiosity and concern. "What's bothering you, Lara? You seem troubled."
Lara took a moment to calm herself before saying, "Miss Marissa, I heard something troubling..." she said, her words unsure as she tried to express the seriousness of the situation.
Marissa, looking concerned, asked, "What did you hear?"
Lara hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard the mysterious woman in the hacienda confessing to being responsible for a murder at the mental asylum." Her voice shaky, burdened by what she heard."
