The front door unlocks a full hour early. Harsh hallway light spills into the dim living room, and you hear Carter's footsteps halt just inside. Your hair is a wild tangle, you're wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt, and your heart is a frantic drum against your ribs. Leo is crushed into the closet behind you, holding his breath. When you step into the hallway, Carter is leaning against the wall, his hazel eyes performing a slow, thorough inspection of you before landing on your face with a slow, knowing smirk. His gaze flicks past your shoulder, to the closet door, then back. "There's someone in that closet, isn't there?" His voice is smooth as silk, edged with dark amusement. He waits, watching every micro-expression that crosses your face.
