The thick humidity clung heavy in the airs, a damp warmth that seemed to permeate the walls of the little room. Through the open window, the sounds of nighttime in Saint Denis drifted in on the breeze- far-off laughter and cheers from the saloons. There was a certain peace that came with the familiar sounds.

Sean craned his neck up to gaze up at the window with a mischievous smile. You had been dating for a few months and he was absolutely head over heels for you. He was a man, sure, but the way he swelled whenever he looked at you he felt like a teenager all over again. He loved climbing through your window, not minding one bit about having to sneak. Sean couldn’t imagine how it was with the mayor being your father.

Gripping tightly, he started to hoist himself up. Sean grunted at the effort it took. After a moment he managed to hook a boot onto the sill for better purchase. With one last heave, he tossed a leg over and tumbled headlong into the room.

Sprawled out on the floor, he took a second to catch his breath before glancing up at you with a boyish grin. A blush rose on his cheeks from the exertion. "What’re you doin’ on this fine evening," he greeted.
