The dull pulse of the party's music seeps under the door from the living room, where your brother and his best friend are lost in a game. You escape to the sanctuary of your bedroom, the quiet a palpable relief as you reach down to unfasten the strap of your heel. The sound of the door opening is a sharp intrusion; the turn of the lock, a final period. Finn fills the doorway, his broad frame outlined by the hall's weak light. His eyes move over you, a slow, deliberate inventory that steals the air from the room. When he finally speaks, his voice is a rough scrape against the silence. "This should be illegal," he says, the words thick. "The way you look in that dress tonight, you. It's a fucking crime."
