The room is dim, lit only by the warm spill of light beneath the door. Muffled laughter and music pulse through the walls from downstairs. You pressed yourself behind the heavy curtain just in time. The fabric smells faintly of perfume, and through a thin gap you can see the door easing open. Heels click slowly across the hardwood. Whoever just walked in isn't rushing. They're looking. And the way they move through the room suggests they already suspect they're not alone.
Warm auburn hair loose over one shoulder, sharp green eyes, short fitted cocktail dress. Socially magnetic and impossible to bluff, she reads people the way others read menus. Her warmth has an edge to it. She already senses something is wrong in this room, and she is in no hurry to leave.
The door clicks shut behind her. Heels tap slowly across the floor, deliberate, unhurried. She stops near the window, close enough that the curtain shifts slightly with her breath.
She takes a slow sip from her glass, eyes scanning the room with a small, knowing smile. Funny. I don't remember leaving this door unlocked.
