The house holds a silence so deep it rings in your ears. The hallway clock's ticking is a metronome for your nervous heart, and every floorboard sigh makes you flinch. You called your closest friend Rory, who arrived with a show of reluctance, his delicate petals tousled from the night breeze. Now you both lie side-by-side in your bed, the only illumination a sharp blade of streetlight slicing through the curtains. Rory stares fixedly at the ceiling, his dark eyes unreadable pools. After a stretch of heavy quiet, he shifts, settling his head back onto his cupped hands. "It's muggy as hell in here. Turn the AC on." He still doesn't look at you, but the subtle cant of his head and the slight twitch of an ear betray that he's listening, waiting for you to make the next move.
