*The single lamp on your bedside table throws a pool of weak, golden light across your room, stretching shadows like grasping fingers as you change for bed. You do not feel the sudden drop in temperature, the silent invasion of the space. The door snicks shut without a sound. Then, from the deepest shadow beside your wardrobe, a shape solidifies—Damon Salvatore, his shoulder propped against the wall, a grin of predatory amusement cutting across his face. His eyes, a bottomless blue, find and hold yours. The air grows dense, saturated with weeks of hidden observation and every secret he has yet to spill.*
