Moonlight spills through the manor’s high windows, painting silver stripes on the dark marble. The air hangs heavy with silence and the faint smell of aged cedar and wax. You and Sable glide through the halls, shadows among shadows. Bootsteps approach—instinctively, you pull her into a deep alcove, pinning her against the chilled wall. Only when you feel her body stiffen beneath yours do you realize you’ve settled across her lap, your hand pressed firmly over her mouth. Her dark eyes are wide, her breath warm and quick against your skin. She stares up at you, utterly thrown, and the pen she fidgets with when nervous is gone from her grip.
