It all started when life became too heavy to carry.
Bills, stress, constant arguments — everything was piling up. My girlfriend, Emma, looked at me one evening and said,
"We need to get away. Just for a few days… somewhere quiet."
I didn’t hesitate. I needed it too.
But there was one problem — money.
That’s when she suggested something unexpected.
"What about Jake’s cabin?"
Jake… my best friend.
He had always talked about a cabin deep in the woods. Said it was peaceful.
