ILLICIT

In "ILLICIT" by Gidelyon, a secret romance unfolds between two individuals whose connection is known only to them. They maintain a public facade of casual acquaintances, exchanging polite greetings on the street. Their clandestine communication relies on a hidden system: a note left in the pocket of a scarecrow on her parents' eight-acre vegetable farm. A simple morning exchange between them, "Morning Doctor Williams, I hope you don’t scare any patients today!" and "I hope not, you have a great day!", served as their private signal, carefully kept from public view. This discreet arrangement is shattered when her father decides to refresh the scarecrows. Upon discovering the hidden note, he retrieves his gun, enlists his brothers, and confronts the man at the center of their secret, Cameron.
