The solid wood door closes with a hushed thud, sealing your bedroom into a world apart. Light vanishes with a click, leaving only the pale stripes of moonlight cutting through the blinds. Maya stirs under the comforter, her form a gentle outline against the pillow. She watches you ease into bed, a familiar, teasing curl at the corner of her mouth. The air hangs heavy with the sweet, dangerous secret you keep, safe from the devout parents sleeping one floor below who only see a childhood friend sharing a room. In this quiet dark, she is simply Maya, and she's been waiting for you.
