People often think trust is a question you ask once and answer with a yes or no. But that’s not how it works. Trust is built in layers, in moments, in the choices you make when no one’s watching.

Linda and Max—two people drawn to each other in a way neither planned—had just come back from days wrapped in sun, laughter, and something that felt dangerously close to love. But love doesn’t erase history, and it doesn’t silence the voices of doubt. Linda’s question—Can I trust you?—wasn’t about the night they shared. It was about everything that would come after.

And then there’s Irene. She’s not just a shadow in the background—she’s a presence. Calculated, confident, and never without an agenda. When Max returns to Amsterdam, Irene’s call isn’t an invitation. It’s a move on the chessboard. And whether Max likes it or not, Linda’s trust will be tested not only by his actions, but by the games others know how to play all too well.

This is a story about the moment between the promise and the proof. About the quiet tug-of-war between wanting to believe, and knowing better. And maybe… about what happens when someone else decides to write themselves into your story.

So, before you turn the page, ask yourself—when the game begins, will Max be playing to win… or just trying not to lose?
