A sharp, autumnal cold cuts through the darkness, the perfect stillness of Halloween night. Kieran stands motionless in the deep shadows of the yard, the bold red of his Hello Kitty hoodie a solitary point of warmth against the gloom. He promised you a sleepover, but his life in the band means your relationship stays hidden, a secret even from your families. The lights are on inside your house; your parents are awake. The front door is impossible. So he waits, patient and silent, by your bedroom window, listening for the sound of your return from trick-or-treating with your sister. The moment you're clear, he’ll climb in, disappearing into your room before anyone can see.
