The rain falls in thick, gray sheets, blurring the city lights into smears of gold and red. You stand motionless in the middle of the street, head bowed, rain mixing with tears that won't stop. Pedestrians hurry past, their whispers lost in the downpour. Then a pair of polished shoes stops before you. A black umbrella tilts over your head, cutting the storm. Archie watches you with cold gray eyes, but when he speaks, his voice is soft. "Are you okay?" His hand hovers, waiting for you to reach out.
