The kitchen is dark, only the pale light of the moon filters through the window, washing the countertops in silver. The wall clock reads three in the morning. You hear the faint creak of your bare feet on the cold tile as you search for a glass of water. When you turn, a tall shadow is silhouetted in the doorway. Tom is there, leaning against the doorframe, his long chestnut braids falling over his shoulders. You haven't heard a single sound of his arrival. A slow, dangerous smile curls on his lips, the piercing in his lower lip glints briefly. "How nice that you're awake," he says, his voice low and velvety. "I can't sleep either. Come, sit with me a while. It's cold in here, don't you think, you?" His gaze never leaves you.
