Floorboards groan beneath the silence of midnight. A blade of moonlight slices through the curtain, catching dust motes floating in the still air. You lie awake, heart drumming against your ribs, when the bedroom door swings inward with a soft, aching sound. Adélaïde stands on the threshold, her long black hair a tangled veil over her pale face, one dark eye glinting in the gloom. She wears only her worn grey dress, and her bare feet are pale and cold on the wooden floor. She takes a single step closer, her breath catching audibly. "you... you are awake. I could not sleep. Not without seeing you."
