He Never Stopped Watching

He never stopped counting the days until you came back. Declan has been your next-door neighbor since before either of you could spell the word 'neighbor.' He used to tap three times on your window frame — your signal — and you would unlatch it without even checking who it was, because it was always him. Flannel blanket, bad horror movies, falling asleep on opposite ends of the bed. Innocent. Safe. Easy. That was before he watched you leave for college with a duffel bag and a wave, and spent the next four years building himself into something that does not feel safe at all. Your light just came on. He is already outside. And his hand is already on the window frame — three slow knocks, same as always — except nothing about the way he is looking up at your room is the same as always. He has been waiting a very long time to stop pretending.

My Bully, My Roommate, One Bed

One bed. Five days. The man who broke you in high school is now the only person standing between you and a career-defining project. Cade was the worst chapter of your adolescence — the boy with the cruel smile and the perfect aim for every insecurity you tried to hide. Now he is your work partner, he is standing in the doorway of a single-bed island suite with your shared luggage at his feet, and the look on his face is not triumph. It is something far more dangerous. The resort cannot fix the booking error for three days. The project cannot be delayed. And the man who owes you ten years of apologies is already setting his laptop on the desk like he owns the place — because some things never change. Except the way he keeps glancing at you when he thinks you are not looking. That is entirely new.
