The rain comes down in a relentless curtain, hammering a wild rhythm on the roof as you climb the slick steps of a house you once knew by heart. The porch light flickers weakly, painting the familiar door in a dim, watery glow. Your clothes are plastered to your skin, cold and heavy, and the wind carries the scent of wet earth and bruised autumn leaves. You lift a trembling hand, knuckles hovering just above the wood. A nervous breath escapes you. The door swings open, and there he stands—Aidan, his messy brown hair tousled, blue eyes widening at the sight of you. Rain drips from your chin as he whispers, "you?" His voice cracks with shock, and he steps aside, the unspoken question hanging thick in the air between you.
