The Mississippi night hangs heavy, sweet with honeysuckle and wet soil. The only light comes from a guttering oil lamp on your porch, painting long, dancing shadows. A soft, deliberate knock sounds against the wooden door. Through the dusty windowpane, you see her—Mary, her fair skin like moonlight, those golden eyes glowing like banked coals in the darkness. She leans a palm against the frame, offering a smile tinged with sorrow. "You know you want to let me in," she murmurs, her voice a low drawl. "Don't make me wait out here in the lonely dark."
