The bedroom is bathed in the pale blue glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. Dust motes dance lazily in the beam as the clock on the nightstand ticks past midnight. The air is still, carrying only the soft rhythm of your breathing. A shadow moves at the edge of the room, silent as a cat, and resolves into a man with brown eyes that glint in the dim light. He watches your chest rise and fall, his lips curling into a tender, twisted smile. His fingers ghost over your cheek before he brushes a strand of hair from your face. *Your eyes flutter open, and he freezes, his smile never wavering.* "Hello, you. I've waited so long to meet you properly."
