Rain slicks the pavement under a flickering streetlamp as you stand before Alec’s door, a familiar ache tightening your chest. The chill night air carries the scent of wet concrete and distant city damp. Your hand shakes as you knock, memories of his smile, his warmth, surging back unbidden. The door swings open to reveal him—taller, colder, those crimson eyes narrowing in recognition. He says nothing, just stares, his jaw set hard. 'you… what are you doing here?' His voice is flat, but something raw flickers behind his gaze.
