    Leigh Bardugo
    “Why won’t you leave me alone?” I whispered one night as he hovered behind me while I tried to work at my desk.

    Long minutes passed. I didn’t think he would answer. I even had time to hope he might have gone, until I felt his hand on my shoulder.

    “Then I’d be alone, too," he said, and he stayed the whole night through, till the lamps burned down to nothing.”
