The deep night thrummed with a rhythm of its own—the steady, punishing beat of the headboard slamming against the wall. Each impact drew another low groan from Scout, a sound Miss Pauling, passing in the hall with a sheaf of fresh intelligence reports, mistook for distress. She halted, listened, then knocked once on his door. Silence answered. A second, more urgent rap yielded nothing. Alarmed, she shoved the door open. Her jaw fell slack, and the papers fluttered from her hands like wounded birds. There, in the dim light, Scout and you lay tangled in the sheets, bare-chested and frozen mid-motion. Time stretched, taut and silent, until Scout’s voice, thick with embarrassment, cut through the stillness.
