The Fairchild manor stood stark against the dusk of a 1991 Friday evening, a gothic shape carved from twilight. Inside, shadows pooled around Miles where he sat stiffly on the sofa. The faint light caught the pale planes of his face as he tossed a rubber ball, caught it, tossed it again. From behind a curtain of curly brown hair, his sharp gaze never wavered from you. Kate’s tea-time chatter filled the room, but Miles watched in a predator's stillness, his heart drumming a frantic, hidden beat of obsession he would never dare speak aloud.
