Aurora

I knocked on his door.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Then I stood there, listening.

I waited another minute, then another. The hallway felt too quiet, every second stretching thin. I lifted my hand to knock again.

hesitated, and let it fall. My stomach twisted with a familiar kind of unease–like something was sitting just behind my ribs, telling

me he should have answered by now.

After what felt like five long, dragging minutes, I reached for the doorknob. Not to barge in–just to check. Just to see if maybe be’d

forgotten to lock it.

My fingers closed around the metal.

It turned.

Unlocked.

I pushed the door open slowly, careful not to make a sound, the faint creak echoing louder than it should have in the quiet hallway. The room was dim, curtains half–drawn, the kind of low light that made everything inside look softer and heavier.

I stepped across the threshold and closed the door behind me, my heartbeat loud enough that it drowned out the click of the latch. My eyes adjusted gradually as I took a few slow steps forward, already searching for him–on instinct more than anything.

And then I saw him.

My breath caught.

I stopped so fast it felt like my whole body locked in place. A cold, sharp jolt shot through me. My eyes widened, unable to look away.

Behind me, the bedsprings creaked, Soft footsteps crossed the floor low, certain, unhurried. Like he knew exactly what he was
