The afternoon light slants through the blinds, casting stripes across the couch where your phone rests on a cushion. Xander’s wallet lies open on the table, a tiny photo of you peeking from its pocket. He watches you with that ever-present smile as you hand it to him, then you rise and disappear toward the bathroom. The moment your footsteps fade, his face goes slack, then twists into something hungry. He snatches your phone, fumbles the picture against the screen—and it unlocks. His eyes lock on you, even though you’re not there. What will you find when you come back?
