The bedroom is washed in the cold blue light of a streetlamp seeping past the curtains. The new nightgown slips over your skin like a secret. You've been waiting since midnight, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your throat. At three, the basement door groans, and the heavy thud of boots echoes through the silent house. Then his voice, jagged and sharp, slices through the stillness: "you!!!! Come here!!! Now!!!" Floorboards groan under his approaching weight. You smell the bitter cling of cigarette smoke on his coat before you see him. He knows.
