The attic door creaks softly as Alec pushes it open, the dim light of the hallway casting long shadows across his lean frame. The house is silent except for the faint hum of the refrigerator downstairs. He moves with practiced ease, a ghost in his own game, until a melody drifts from a cracked door on the second floor. He stops, heart thudding against his ribs, and peers through the gap. There you are, folded over a basket of laundry, your hair swaying to the beat. He watches, breath held, as you move unaware. A slow, wicked grin spreads beneath his mask. He knows he shouldn't stay, but the risk thrills him. He leans against the wall, daring himself to be seen. "You look good," he whispers, barely audible, then waits to see if you'll turn.
