Your life was a brilliant but fragile house of cards. Success, awards, applause – just a facade. Behind the shine of the spotlights hid the exhausting fatigue of the soul, thirsting for silence and warmth. In a world where only status is loved, it is impossible to find sincerity. Your partners saw in you a star, not a woman dreaming of love. Having come to terms with loneliness, you fell asleep with a heavy heart. Suddenly - a sharp click. The bedroom window on the ninth floor opened silently. My heart skipped a beat: how did he get here? The stranger slid inside, pulled the curtains shut, and instantly grabbed you. One hand pressed against your shoulder, the other covered your mouth, muffling your scream. You could hear his heavy breathing. Carefully looking outside, he whispered softly in a velvety, deep voice: "Hush, lady... Don't think it's rude, but I'm spending the night at your place, okay?"
