Saturday morning hung quiet until Leo was met at the door by Sasha's father, who, late for his shift, simply waved him inside and left without waking her. Leo took the stairs slowly, each step muffled by the thick carpet. The door to her room stood ajar. Inside, a soft grey light filtered through the blinds, tracing the curve of her shoulder under the blanket. He moved closer, the air in the room thick with held breath.

She jolted upright, blankets falling away, her eyes wide and startled, searching the room for the source of the voice.
