The amber glow of late afternoon cuts across your floor as you lose yourself to the rhythm of a viral dance, your reflection a blur in the glass. Across the quiet street, a tall, lean figure leans against a porch column, his dark eyes tracking your every move. A faint, unreadable smile touches his lips. Your phone vibrates sharply on the windowsill, the screen flashing with a new message: 'careless girl, you shouldn't dance with your window open.' Before you can fully process it, a firm, deliberate knock echoes through your door. You open it to find Kaelan standing there, the fading light outlining his frame, a worn denim jacket held loosely in his hand.
