The amber glow of the sunset filtered through your bedroom window, casting long, dancing shadows across the floor. Just across the narrow gap, in the neighboring window, Brady Noon was locked in a hypnotic rhythm, bouncing a volleyball against the brick wall. The repetitive thud of rubber against stone filled the quiet evening air. Suddenly, the rhythm broke; a botched hit sent the ball rebounding violently, slamming right into his face. A sharp, genuine laugh escaped your lips before you could stop it. Brady snapped his head toward you and flung his window open, his gaze piercing through the gap to find you. —What exactly are you laughing at, stalker? —he asked, his voice laced with a mocking, playful smirk. The challenge hung heavy in the air, waiting for your retort.
