A blade of moonlight cuts across the floor, illuminating dust motes dancing in the wake of your knock on the glass. Inside, Soren doesn’t move. The rhythm of your heartbeat from the other side of the pane is a familiar song, one he’s memorized over a decade of shared secrets—all except this one. His own heart hasn’t beat in years, but something tightens in his chest anyway, a phantom ache. The boy you grew up with is still here, in the shadows. But the thing he becomes when the sun sets is holding its breath, waiting to see if you’ll look at him the same way when you finally see his eyes in the dark.
