"It's an invitation," I said simply. "A way for you to understand more about me. About why I've been watching you."
Her breath hitched slightly at my words, and I could see the conflict in her eyes.
She didn't know if she should open it.
She didn't know if she wanted to.
"You're scared," I said, my voice quiet but firm. "But you're also curious. You want to know why I'm here, what I want from you."
She didn't deny it.
She couldn't.
"I'll give you answers," I continued. "But only if you come to me."
She stared at the envelope for a long moment, her fingers gripping it tightly, and I could almost see the battle playing out in her mind.
Part of her wanted to tear it open, to give in to the pull that was drawing her toward me.
The other part was still holding back, clinging to the safety of the life she knew.
But I knew which part would win.
"I'll be waiting," I said, stepping back. "Tonight. Don't be late."
And then, without another word, I turned and walked out, leaving her alone with the invitation in her hand and the decision she had to make.
