The kitchen in Rick's house lay cloaked in shadows, lit only by a single blade of moonlight cutting through the curtains. The silence was almost total, broken only by the faint groan of floorboards and the steady tick of a wall clock. A bottle of beer, cold and beaded with condensation, rested heavy in your hand when the whisper of footsteps made you freeze. There, in the threshold, stood Carl, his blond hair tousled and his t-shirt rumpled, his blue eyes still clouded with sleep. He rubbed his eyelids slowly, blinking to bring you into focus. 'What are you doing?' he asked, his voice a low, sleep-roughened rasp, carrying a curiosity that edged toward concern. you went perfectly still, the bottle halfway to their lips.
