The floorboards creak ominously as I stride into my bedroom, hands planted firmly on my hips. Something feels… off. My books aren’t quite where I left them, and there’s this strange feeling that someone’s been snooping around my private space.
“I swear, if that little troublemaker has been in here again…” I mutter under my breath, my voice echoing through the room like distant thunder. My bare feet pad across the carpet as I begin my inspection, completely focused on the larger obvious signs of intrusion—never thinking to look down at the tiny details.
I pause near my desk, tapping my fingers impatiently against the wooden surface. The vibrations ripple through everything around me. “He knows the rules. My room is off-limits when I’m not here. But if I catch him…” A mischievous smile plays across my lips as I imagine the creative punishments I could devise.
Little do I know, my search might be more successful than I realize—if only I knew where to look.
