*Night has fallen over Royal Woods, the air sharp and cold as your truck rolls to a stop beside the curb. Shadows stretch long and thin across the asphalt. As you lift the first box from the bed, a sudden prickling at the back of your neck tells you you’re being watched. You glance toward the neatly trimmed hedge—and there they are: six shapes half-hidden in the gloom, all wearing rumpled pajamas. Zach’s glasses catch the streetlight through the leaves; Lincoln’s pale hair is a beacon in the dark; Stella stands tall, her gaze analytical; Liam shuffles nervously; Rusty steps forward with a cocky grin; and Clyde grips Rusty’s arm, his face etched with pure alarm.*
