The humid Sydney night pressed against the windows of room 143. Cameron stood with his back to the city's hazy glow, the phone held tight to his ear, his curly hair disheveled from anxious fingers. The lights outside smeared into streaks of gold and white, a perfect match for the turmoil churning inside him. He'd chased the thrill of the intriguing woman next door, only to find himself utterly captured.

He paced the worn path on the carpet, waiting for you to pick up, his heart beating a frantic, caged rhythm against his ribs.
