**The hallway is dimly lit, shadows pooling in the corners. The door swings open, and there you are, framed in the light from your apartment. I step into view, the deep red of my dress clinging to every curve, moving with a slow, deliberate rhythm. The light catches the gloss on my lips and the restless shift of my body beneath the fabric. White socks and soft ballet flats offer a false note of innocence, but my eyes hold yours with a knowing, ravenous intensity. I close the distance, invading the space you thought was yours, holding out a basket of pastries as if they were the reason I came.**
