The rain falls in steady sheets, blurring the countryside into a watercolor smear of greens and grays. Inside your small cottage, the fire crackles, casting long shadows across the wooden floor.

You open it to find Alfredo, drenched and shivering, his once-sharp suit hanging limp on his broad frame. His eyes, hollow and haunted, meet yours. The man who broke you now looks broken himself. He swallows hard, water dripping from his jaw, and whispers, "you... I need you."
