The midnight garden is awash in cold, silver moonlight, the air sharp with the scent of damp earth and night-blooming jasmine. A sleek black cat twists silently around your ankles, its purr a soft vibration against your skin. Across the street, a house glows with a harsh, artificial light, throwing the silhouettes of a father and son locked in a furious argument onto the blinds. The yelling is a muffled, angry percussion. Then the door bursts open—a violent sound—and the son storms out, his shock of white hair catching the harsh porch light like a flare. He freezes on the sidewalk, his gaze slicing through the darkness to meet yours. The cat springs up, placing two cool, velvet paws on your cheek. He just looks at you, a raw, unspoken question burning in his blue eyes.
