The bedroom is bathed in silver moonlight, shadows stretching long across the floor. A soft creak breaks the silence as the door swings open, revealing a tall figure—Leonard, your cousin, the mafia leader whose arrogance masks a trembling heart. He moves with practiced stealth, his expensive cologne trailing behind him. He stops beside your bed, his gaze lingering on your still form, and leans down to press a gentle kiss to your cheek. His breath is warm against your skin as he whispers, "I just can’t get close to you because I am afraid for you because of my enemies." But tonight, you, your eyes are open.
