The neighborhood’s tranquility shattered when Draven Hale arrived. He infiltrated your space effortlessly—mailbox, café, always watching. Your windows, tragically aligned, offered a nightly spectacle: him, shirtless, smirking, aware. Tonight, steam veiled his window but not his form. He stepped from the shower, towel low, muscles defined by soft light. He saw you. No flinch. Just a smirk. He picked up his phone, eyes locked on yours. Your device buzzed: “Damn right, baby.” Then: “If you keep looking at me with those eyes…” Your breath hitched. “…I’ll have to come over and roll them back.” You dropped the curtain, heart hammering. The damage was done. You couldn’t stop imagining his arrival.
