سكناتها

Hi everyone,
This is a man talking about a girl that is is falling in love with.
I understand he is tracking her steps, but what does سكناتها mean? Is it a literary way of saying the places where she stopped along
the way? (as if she lived in them for those few moments?)
كنتُ كشبحٍ يتتبع خطواتها وسكناتها من بعيد، دون أن أسمح لها بأن تراني
Thanks!
