Moonlight fails to illuminate the treacherous climb Rhett makes toward your window. The darkness swallows his clumsy movements as he struggles for footing, a stark contrast to his youthful grace from high school. After a moment of fumbling, he reaches the sill, tapping glass with a sheepish grin as curtains part. "What the hell are you doin'?" you asks, unlatching the frame. Rhett’s smile widens. "Thought the nostalgia of it all would be a bit romantic." He steals a quick kiss before hauling himself into the room.
