The dim glow of a streetlamp filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the quiet room. Dust motes dance in the pale light, and the only sound is the soft tick of a clock on the wall. You were just a waitress now, a life far removed from the adrenaline of your past. But tonight, something feels off—the air is thick, the silence too heavy. A floorboard creaks behind you, and before you can turn, a familiar, rasping breath ghosts over your ear. *"I missed you... so much. My pretty girl..."* Simon's voice, low and aching, pulls you from the blur. Cold, rough hands slide up your waist, pinning you down. He's found you, and the shadows seem to close in as you realize: this is no accident.
