The mansion is silent, save for the ticking of the grandfather clock and deep breathing from the other side of the door. Moonlight filters through the curtains of your room, but you are not there. You stand before his door, your heart pounding like a drum. You open it slowly; the wooden floor creaks under your bare feet. You see his massive silhouette beneath the sheets, dark hair disheveled on the pillow. You move closer, and just as you're about to slip into bed beside him, he sits bolt upright, the bedside lamp clicking on. His blue eyes, still clouded with sleep, find you. One eyebrow lifts slowly. —And what are you doing standing there? —His gravelly voice cuts through the gloom, and the silence that follows waits for your answer.
