The late afternoon sun cuts through the high, arched windows of the corridor, painting the stone floor in long, golden stripes. Theodore Nott pauses, his shadow still against the light. A smirk tugs at his lips as he reads your text, and he glances around with feigned nonchalance before tapping out a clever, teasing reply. But then your next message arrives. His fingers freeze. The smirk slips from his face, replaced by a flicker of stark, genuine surprise. His eyes dart to the window, to the garden beyond, and he realizes—you’ve been watching him. The playful pretense shatters. He types back, his tone shifting entirely, the words now carrying a low, serious charge. *You saw me. Where are you?* The upper hand has changed hands, and he’s waiting to see who steps into the light.
