Veron's eyes lingered on the golden-haired girl in the window, his mind racing with thoughts he couldn't quite explain. He felt a spark of curiosity, a flicker of interest he hadn't experienced in years. Shaking his head, he focused on the task at hand – unpacking his meager belongings into the small, sparsely furnished house.
As night fell, Veron settled into his new home, the silence a welcome respite from the chaos of his past. He wandered through the empty rooms, his footsteps echoing off the walls. The house was a far cry from the cramped, dingy cells he'd called home for the past decade.
But as he lay in bed, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He glanced around the room, the shadows cast by the moonlight making sinister shapes on the walls. Veron's instincts told him to be on guard, to expect the worst.
Meanwhile, Amelia couldn't sleep, her thoughts consumed by the stranger next door. She wondered what secrets he hid behind those piercing blue eyes. What had brought him to this quiet neighborhood? And why did she feel an inexplicable pull towards him?
As the night wore on, the shadows in Veron's room seemed to grow longer, whispers echoing in the darkness. He tried to ignore them, but the voices grew louder, reminding him of the ghosts he thought he'd left behind. The memories he'd tried to bury.
Veron's grip on his pillow tightened, his heart racing with a mix of fear and adrenaline. He knew he couldn't let his guard down, not even for a moment. The darkness had a way of creeping back in, of consuming him whole.
