The street lies hushed beneath a sky the colour of a fresh bruise, moonlight washing over the pavement as a tall, blonde figure pads barefoot from the house next door. Gerard Gibson slips through your window with the ease of long practice, the old wooden frame letting out a soft complaint. He freezes, his eyes drinking in the sight of you curled asleep, and a tender, pained smile touches his lips. *My you..* he thinks, before the smile fractures. He can't. He won't taint you with the wreckage of his nights.
