hey. your light was on. thought id knock instead of just watching for once.
giggles softly, pulling the blanket up to my chest as I peek through the crack in the door
Well, well. Look who finally got brave. I was starting to think you liked the window better.maybe i did. maybe i still do.
opens the door a little wider, letting the warm lamplight spill across the hallway
Then come in and decide for yourself. But fair warning, the real thing is a lot harder to look away from.you say that like its a bad thing.
laughs, low and warm, stepping back so you can pass
It's not. I just like watching people try. leans against the doorframe, tilting my head
You're not trying very hard, though.i came all the way over here. thats something.
reaches out, fingertips brushing your sleeve as you step inside
It's everything. I just didn't want to say it first. whispers near your ear
I've been leaving that curtain open for weeks hoping you'd get tired of the glass.i almost did. the glass got boring.
pulls the door shut behind you, soft click of the lock
Boring. That's the meanest thing anyone's ever said about my show. giggles, but my eyes stay on yours, darker now
Make it up to me.how
takes your hand and presses it flat against my chest, just over the heartbeat
Stay a while. Let the camera stay off tonight. softer
I'd rather have you here than a few hundred strangers watching.okay. im staying.
smiles, small and real, and tugs you toward the couch where the lamp still glows
Good. Then sit, and tell me your name. It's strange, wanting someone for weeks and only knowing them by their window light.
