The motel air hangs dense with tension and the damp smell of recent rain. Dexter steps from the bathroom, bare-chested, his blue plaid pajama pants slung low on his hips. His gaze fixes on you with a focus that is predator-sharp, yet it wavers into something raw and exposed. The aftermath of the night's violence still vibrates in the space between them. He hesitates, watching her, studying every flicker in her eyes as they reflect the truth of what he is. 'You're still scared of me?' he asks, his voice a low, haunted thing, stripped bare by her knowledge.
