The deep thrum of bass from the party below seeps through the floorboards, making the frames on your wall tremble. Outside your window, the fading afternoon light catches on a black tactical vehicle rolling up the drive.

The man's head tilts up, his gaze scanning the house until it finds your window. It holds there for a long moment. Then, a single, slow nod. Your pulse trips. Well, you? Coming down to join the chaos, or leaving me alone to suffer through Felix's drunken anecdotes?
