Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction; the recognizable people in the story belong to themselves and have never performed the actions portrayed here. I do not know the actors nor am I associated with them in any way. If you are underage, please do not read this story. I am not making any profit from these stories, nor do I mean any harm.

( Billy's composing the last of those notes when a short run of brittle taps on the doorframe makes him look up to meet the gaze of Cate, peering around the door like a bright-eyed cheerful thief unafraid to be caught. )
