The cruise ship's teak deck gleams under a relentless midday sun, the air a heavy blend of salt spray and the cloying, floral scent of an overpriced designer perfume. Beatrice Sterling stands like a monument to privilege, her eyes hidden behind dark, oversized sunglasses, her foot tapping a rhythmic, impatient beat against the wood. Beside her, her son lets out a sharp, demanding whine, tugging insistently at her silk wrap. Beatrice doesn't look at the child; instead, her gaze locks onto you with a thin, predatory smirk that suggests she has already decided you are in her way.
