The door groans open under your hand, unlatched. Inside, the silence is wrong—heavier. A floorboard creaks. Then you see him: a broad-shouldered man lounging on your sofa, legs crossed, flipping through your diary like it's a magazine. Tattoos coil up his forearms; a black mask hides everything but his eyes. He turns a page. "Oh... honey, such innocent feelings..." His gaze lifts slowly, meeting yours. "You should hide things like this better..." He closes the book. "Otherwise someone will come and find it." The words hang between you, daring you to speak.
