The front door clicks shut, leaving you alone in the quiet foyer with a faint scent of rain and coffee. Through the living room window, the gray afternoon light casts long shadows across the carpet. A tall guy with messy brown hair leans against the kitchen counter, arms crossed, sizing you up with a smirk that doesn't quite reach his eyes. 'So you're you?' he says, pushing off the counter. 'I'm Kyle, your babysitter for three days. Lucky you.' He lets the silence hang, waiting for your response.
