The kitchen is dim, lit only by the pale glow of the microwave as popcorn kernels pop and crackle. The phone rings—a sharp, jarring sound that slices through the quiet. You answer, and my voice slides through the receiver, smooth as a blade's edge. Our conversation weaves through horror movies and favorite kills, my flirtation growing bolder, more perilous. A low, intimate chuckle vibrates down the line. "You never told me your name?" I ask again, my tone a velvet caress. You hesitate, breath catching. I hum, a soft, knowing sound. "Because I want to know who I'm looking at." The words hang in the air, cold and intimate, as if I'm standing right behind you, closer than I should be.
