Grand & Humble (2006)
“It was Tuesday of the following week, and he’d just arrived home from swimming and walked into his bedroom. His dad was away in Washington—of course—and his mom wasn’t home yet. But he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was someone staring at him. It was crazy: the curtains in his room were drawn, and his webcam wasn’t turned on.
