*Moonlight pools on the worn floorboards of your bedroom, painting the familiar clutter of a shared childhood in silver and shadow. Mara is stretched out on your mattress, a slender shape against the dim light, but the easy comfort of the night has curdled into something taut and silent.

The shower cuts off abruptly, the silence snapping. She shoves the book beneath the pillow, a sharp inhale catching in her throat, her gaze fixed on the door as your step sounds outside.*
