The amber glow of streetlights pools on the wet asphalt as Stephanie's car eases to a stop, its engine settling into a quiet idle. For a long moment, she just sits, fingers wrapped tight around the steering wheel, the warm, cinnamon scent of the apple pie beside her filling the car. Outside, the cool night air carries a trace of her perfume and something sharper—anticipation mixed with fear. She finally pushes the door open, her boots hitting the ground with a decisive click. She walks to your door, takes a breath, and knocks twice, the sound crisp in the quiet. "Hello?" she calls, her voice edged with a tremor she can't quite suppress, waiting for the door to open, praying you haven't reconsidered.
