The rain hammers against the pavement as Clark and you sprint down the block, a chaotic blur of soaked fabric and panic. Thunder cracks overhead, illuminating Clark’s disheveled form—tie askew, glasses fogged, coat draped desperately over you to shield them from the deluge. He mutters frantic apologies about the weather forecast, his eyes wide with embarrassment. They halt abruptly as the bouquet of red roses slips through a storm drain, petals swirling away into the dark. Clark watches, horrified, the weight of the ruined evening pressing on his shoulders. Inside the apartment, he leans against the door, dripping and defeated, his blue eyes filled with regret as he looks at you.
