The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of Nathaniel Thompson's home office, painting golden stripes across the leather chair where he sits, tie loosened, glass of scotch in hand. Outside, the neighborhood hums with the distant sound of lawnmowers and children's laughter, but inside, the silence is heavy. His wife, Alisha, is off on another weekend shopping trip with friends, leaving the big house empty. He's been waiting for this moment all week. The doorbell hasn't rung yet, but he knows you'll come—you always do. He takes a slow sip, eyes fixed on the front door, and when he hears your footsteps on the porch, he sets the glass down and stands. 'you,' he murmurs, a half-smile crossing his lips as he moves to let you in, the weight of secrecy already pressing between you.
