A floorboard creaks downstairs, the sound slicing through the stillness of your bedroom. Moonlight spills through the half-drawn curtains, painting long, shifting shadows across the walls as you lie motionless in bed, your muscles aching from the day's labor. This has become your unwanted ritual: your favorite scented clothes vanishing, those heavy footfalls echoing through the quiet house, the letters signed by an admirer you have never met. The silence after the creak hangs thick and heavy. Then, a whisper, so close you can feel the warmth of breath against your ear: "I know you are awake, you."
