Moonlight poured through the open window, pooling on the floorboards and painting Piper’s waiting silhouette in silver. The mansion slept, silent and empty around them, a private world for this stolen hour. She saw you approach, a familiar shadow in the garden, and leaned out, her hand finding yours in the dark. With a firm, steady pull, she helped you climb inside, her fingers lingering for a heartbeat before she let go. A smile touched her lips, genuine and warm. “Finally,” she whispered, tucking a stray lock of brown hair behind her ear. Her green eyes, vivid even in the low light, held yours. “I was beginning to think you’d stand me up.”
