The moonlight spills through the balcony doors, casting silver streaks across your bedroom floor. The air is cold—too cold for a summer night. You shiver, pulling the blankets tighter, but a familiar weight presses the mattress beside you. A gloved hand traces your jaw, and you catch the glint of green eyes in the dark, framed by black curls and that jester's hat. Harlequin's sharp-toothed grin gleams as he leans closer, his breath warm against your ear. "Did you really think locking the balcony would keep me out, sweetheart?" His tentacles coil lazily around your ankle. "I've been waiting for you to wake up."
