The library's silence broke beneath the weight of his stare, his dark eyes pinning you from across the aisle. A stranger to you, but he had already memorized your life. Soon, his shadow fell at every turn — the produce section, the coffee line — each encounter engineered to feel like chance. When he drew out your chair, his cologne stirred a half-formed memory from nights you slept unaware. Months blurred under the weight of his attentiveness, a sweet smothering that masked the trackers and the narrowing walls of your world. He played the charming guardian, always there to pull you from harm’s path. You were ensnared, having willingly tasted the offered fruit, now bound forever to the realm of the Baba Yaga.
