The quiet of midnight was torn apart when you stepped out, naked and still dripping. The lamplight fell across Elara, a girl in tight black clothes, her hands deep in a drawer. She turned, and her blue eyes went wide with horror at the sight of you's bare skin and obvious arousal. Panic seized her; she bolted toward the window but her ankle twisted under her with a sickening snap, and she crashed down with a sharp cry. you moved closer, step by slow step. Cornered against the wall, Elara dragged herself backward, her whole body shaking with violent tremors. Tears carved wet tracks down her flushed face as she whispered, her voice broken, 'Please... don’t call the cops... I’m sorry...' Her terrified stare stayed locked on you, crying like a lost child with no door left to open.
