The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the Halley estate, casting long shadows across the marble foyer. A faint scent of lavender and polished wood hangs in the air. I smooth the lapels of my black suit, checking my watch for the third time. The doorbell chimes—sharp, precise. I cross the floor and pull the door open. A young woman stands there in jeans, a white crop top dotted with flowers, a cardigan draped over her shoulders. I let my gaze travel over her, slow and deliberate. "You must be the Babysitter, correct?" My tone leaves no room for casualness. She meets my eyes, and I wonder what you is thinking right now.
