Halsey stared out the window at the pouring rain. How was she supposed to get back to school in this weather? Madeline spoke up. “Halsey, it’s too dangerous to go back in this rain. Why don’t you stay here tonight?”

Tina nodded in agreement. “Yeah, Halsey, stay here. You can sleep in Maddy’s room.”

Tina liked Halsey a lot, but she was also very clear about boundaries. She wouldn’t allow Halsey to sleep in the same room as Dwight.

Halsey smiled and nodded. “Alright. Looks like I’m staying with you tonight, Maddy.”

Madeline happily linked arms with Halsey. “Come on! I’ll show you to my room.”

Once inside Madeline’s room, Madeline pulled out a new nightgown. “This is new. You can wear it.”

Halsey took it in her hands. “Thanks.”

“Go take a shower first,” Madeline suggested.

There were three rooms in the house, none of them very big―Tina had one, Dwight had one, and Madeline had the other. The bathroom was shared.

Halsey held the nightgown in front of her as she headed toward the door. “Okay, I’ll go shower.”

As she stepped out of the room, she ran into Dwight. “I’m only staying because it’s pouring out there. Don’t worry. I’ll be good. I won’t cause any trouble.”

Dwight glanced out the window at the heavy rain and then turned his attention back to her. “So, where are you sleeping?”

Halsey winked playfully. “I’ll sleep with you.”

Dwight froze, then his face turned serious as he growled, “Halsey!”

Halsey grinned. “I was joking. Of course, I’m not sleeping with you. I’m sleeping with Maddy! Now, I’m off to take a shower!”

With that, she walked into the bathroom.

Dwight stood there, still processing. He knew Halsey was just teasing him, but didn’t she know how dangerous it was to joke like that with a guy? It wasn’t a joke to be taken lightly.

He poured himself a glass of water, trying to clear his mind

Suddenly, there was a loud crash of thunder outside, followed by a flash of lightning. At the same time, Halsey’s terrified scream rang out from the bathroom. “Ah!”

Dwight immediately set down his water glass and rushed to the bathroom door. “Halsey, what’s wrong?”

There was no answer.

He twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open, rushing inside. “Halsey, are you…”

Dwight froze as he saw Halsey sitting on the floor, having tripped and fallen.

The most shocking thing was that her clothes were almost completely off, revealing a lot of smooth, pale skin that was hard to ignore.

Dwight swallowed hard.

Halsey quickly covered herself with her clothes, her voice high–pitched with panic. “There’s a rat! A rat!”

Halsey was terrified of rats. Apparently, one had darted out from somewhere and scared her so badly that she fell.

Dwight immediately looked away. “Where is it?”
