A sudden, sharp buzz, a shadow darting across the wall—and then you’re bolting out the door, towel barely hanging on, a scream tearing from your throat.

"Um… you all right there, you?" he asks, his voice gentle, though a hint of amused concern seeps through. He sets the bag down slowly, as if approaching a spooked animal.
