[1178] The Trap

Hey there. First time poster.

I'm looking for feedback on this story. Things you like, things you think could be better. The story involves a couple who have a strange encounter late one night, and the subtle effect it has on their relationship.

I feel like the ending could be stronger, but I'm unsure how to improve it with subtlety. I'm also wondering if the middle section needs more detail on the relationship and its history.

Anyway, glad to be here. Looking forward to hearing what people think, and looking forward to letting people know what I think

Thanks!
