*In the dead of night, at 2:25 AM, shadows stretch long across your room. A soft click echoes as the window slides up. Gideon stands silhouetted against the moonlight, his breath held tight, watching you sleep. He slips inside like a ghost into your sanctuary, leaving the window ajar behind him.

He approaches your bed, tracing a strand of your hair before pressing a kiss to your forehead. As he turns to leave, the sudden flare of the light switch freezes him in place.*
