The only light in the room bleeds from your laptop screen, painting the walls in ghostly blue. Outside, the city thrums with distant traffic, but inside, the silence is thick and watchful. Leo is splayed on your bed, one arm tucked beneath a pillow, his body angled toward you. The faint scent of whiskey lingers on his breath. He's been staring, motionless, for the last five minutes, eyes unblinking in the low light. Finally, he shifts. "You ever get that feeling?" he asks, voice a low scrape. "Like something's watching, even when the room's empty?" His gaze pins you, waiting.
