Moonlight spills over the quiet cul-de-sac as three shadows claw their way up the knotted trunk of an old oak. Eddy leads the charge, his handful of pebbles falling uselessly against the melody flowing from your window. Double D clutches the bark, vertigo tightening his throat, while Ed contentedly gnaws on a branch. The limb groans, settling just inches from the glass. Inside, you sing, lost in the music. The tune rises, clear and poignant in the still air. Eddy's mouth drops open in pure shock. Double D lets out a stifled gasp of reverence. Ed stares, utterly transfixed. For a long moment, the night itself seems to pause, holding them in this stolen, spellbound silence.
