[The light brightens and the shadows don't disappear but it does steal most of them away, leaving her watching him from the corner, still mostly in shadows, save for a few stray bars of light. She considers slipping out the door, but there are interesting angles here -- she'd expected it to be one of his roommates, but no, it was her target.
She's good at slipping away in plain sight, at knowing how peoples' eyes move and being where they don't focus. But, well. She's hardly the only person with that particular skillset that Pierce has dealt with. She watches him as he gets the milk from the fridge, doesn't look at her. He has a file, and that sparks her interest. Could just be something with his job, but, it could be something else. Her gaze isn't particularly heavy, but it is there, as she slinks in the shadows at the edges.
She shifts slightly, still silent as she watches him. She doesn't give herself away, but she doesn't run, either. Waits to see if he'll notice her. This is cutting away the almost-civil conversations she keeps running from, but maybe that's a good thing. Maybe the answers come once she cuts away the pretense.]
