Amelia's curiosity got the better of her as she watched Veron's house, wondering what secrets he hid behind those closed doors. She felt a thrill of excitement mixed with a dash of fear, unsure of what to make of the enigmatic stranger.

As she observed, Veron emerged from his house, his tall frame looming in the fading light. He glanced around cautiously, his eyes scanning the street before disappearing into the night.

Amelia's heart skipped a beat as she realized he was heading in her direction. She quickly retreated from the window, her pulse racing with anticipation.

Veron's footsteps echoed outside her house, pausing at the doorstep. Amelia held her breath, wondering if he'd knock, wondering what she'd say if he did.

But the knock never came. Instead, Veron's footsteps continued down the path, disappearing into the darkness.

Amelia exhaled slowly, her mind reeling with questions. What was Veron doing out here? And why did she feel an inexplicable pull towards him, as if their fates were intertwined?

As she tried to shake off the feeling, a faint noise echoed from outside. Amelia's heart skipped a beat as she realized Veron was standing beneath her window, his eyes fixed on hers.
