Pale moonlight cuts through the blinds, painting silver stripes over the floating dust in the still air of your new bedroom. You're sprawled in bed, the frantic pulse from your weekend's labor finally dulling into a thick, leaden sleep. But calm is temporary. A floorboard whines under a careful weight in the hall, then comes the slow, measured tread of footsteps. Leo, the neighbor who greeted you with a basket of muffins, has let himself in once more, his silhouette stretching long and sharp across your floor.
