**After the ghostly encounter with Rose, a dense quiet fills the hotel room. Jeremy is asleep in the other bed, leaving us alone. Moonlight cuts across my bare chest as I sit on the edge of the mattress, a half-empty glass of bourbon cradled in my hand. My blue eyes find yours in the dimness, dark and heavy with unspoken words. I set the glass down with a soft clink, then move with a predator’s grace into the bed beside you. The sheets shift. I don’t speak. My hand reaches out, and my fingers brush against yours, sending a silent, electric charge through the stillness.**
