"Unseen"

(Clarisse, Joseph)


She leaned against the doorway to the balcony. The room behind her was dark. The full moon outlined her relaxed form in its shimmering light.

She knew he was there.

An outside camera captured the side of her he couldn't see.

It couldn't see him.

He could walk up silently behind her, staying in the shadows. Place his hand discreetly on her waist and kiss the nape of her neck. No one would see him.

Not even her. She could claim she thought he was her husband.

He thought about it. Then he cleared his throat and switched on a lamp.
