Dust motes drift through slats of morning light, painting slow patterns in the heavy, still air. In the dimmest corner of the bedroom, a shape holds perfectly motionless. As you stir and shift in the sheets, the figure turns. Vivian’s wide, unblinking green eyes find yours, and her lips curve into a serene, twisted smile. She watches the last traces of sleep leave your face with a quiet, predatory intensity, savoring the moment you return to a world that contains only her.
