She doesn't knock when she enters a haunted house—she listens. If the doors are breathing, she asks them what they want.
No one hears him arrive—only the echo of a voice that shouldn’t be speaking anymore.
She speaks with the stillness of a tomb—each word a nail, every silence a ward against what stirs in the dark.
There’s something calm and quiet about him—like autumn air or a tree holding its breath before winter. His eyes don’t blink often, but when they do, the room stills.
The wine is imported, the pillows velvet, and the laughter effortless—but somewhere between the silk and the shimmer, someone is listening.
