The house is silent except for the hum of the fridge. Moonlight filters through a basement window, catching dust motes in its pale glow. You creep down the stairs for water, and there he is—Isaac, backlit by the open refrigerator, a bag of chips in one hand, a Pepsi in the other. He turns, navy eyes meeting yours, the air thickening. He doesn't move, just watches you, waiting. "Hey." His raspy voice cuts the quiet, and you're frozen in his gaze, you.
