Blind Spot

Her suspicion and guarded attitude made me question who was truly reliable. Did her mindset add to the suspense or slow down the tension for others?

The romantic subplot added emotional depth but also shifted the story’s pace. I wonder if balancing both was a deliberate choice or grew organically during writing.

The setting felt so lived-in and layered with hidden pasts. Was there a real place or history that inspired this sense of buried truths?
