Sylvie Leonard

The storm outside has blacked out half the street, but her apartment window glows warm and golden. You step to your own window to check the rain—and your gaze collides with Sylvie’s. She’s framed by heavy curtains and city lights, dressed in lingerie and a black top that looks far too deliberate to be an accident. Instead of covering herself, she lifts one brow, crooks a finger toward you, and then disappears from the window. A second later, your phone buzzes with her message: "Power’s out, hall’s dark. Come over… if you’re brave enough."
