My initial draw to this pic was the location, on the water somewhere tropical.
Then I switched focus to the woman and how happy and at peace she seems.
But it wasn’t always this way.
I’m thinking she had a stressful time as of late. Her job/career? I’m leaning toward an assassin or some kind of government trained agent.
She’s good but not great but has potential. Something happened though that shook her to her core.
Last mission probably?
She lost her nerve and almost had a breakdown. It was something major enough for her to take a leave of absence. But how long? A month or two? Six months?
Not sure yet but she retreated to this island cabin on the water in an effort to rebuild herself.
Maybe it wasn’t a leave of absence. Maybe she retired.
Maybe she was forced to.
Either way she’s been staying here for over a month now. She has a nice routine going on. Maybe made some friends with a few locals.
Then one day her past catches up with her. She knows something she shouldn’t from her time working for whomever. Something changed at work and now she’s seen as a loose end that needs to be cleaned up.
The questions now are, what does she know? Who exactly wants her dead? And is she good enough to prevent them from succeeding?
