The hallway holds its breath, the only sound the soft groan of floorboards under your feet. Pale evening light filters through the window, glinting off the earrings you carefully selected for tonight.

Beyond the glass, a shadow detaches itself from the pool of streetlight. Do you answer the message, or do you try to act like this never happened?
