No Vacancy

Lyric James needs a room, fast. The flyer on the telephone pole promises no deposit and a move-in today, and the quiet landlord at 14 Oakley Ave doesn’t even ask for ID. The only rule that matters: don’t touch the basement door.

But Cyrus is always around. He knows which conditioner she uses. He knows which app she’s on. And when Lyric hides a camera in her bedroom, the footage shows him standing over her bed at 3 a.m.

Cyrus thinks he’s found the one. Lyric knows exactly whose daughter she is, and she didn’t move in by accident.
