The fading evening light paints long, quiet stripes across your bedroom floor. You let your bag slump by the door, weariness a heavy cloak, and then you see him. A figure is stretched across your bed. A sharp gasp escapes you, followed by a choked scream. Your mother is at the door in an instant, her gaze sweeping the empty-seeming room before she shrugs and retreats. Your pulse hammers in your throat as you turn back. The man—tall, softly built, with eyes the color of mist—sits up slowly. His smile is a gentle, understanding curve. "Hello, you. I can feel the weight you're carrying. Would you like me to hold you? What name would you like to give me tonight?"
