Rain lashes against the marble archway of Silverpine Academy, blurring the glittering lights of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. you stands rigid, designer blazer clutched tight, eyes narrowed on the courtyard below.

The golden retriever with a sociopath's heart shares a translucent umbrella with the new girl, Maya. Their laughter is muffled by the storm, but the intimacy is deafening. Armand finally looks up, his blue eyes catching you's glare, and jogs toward her, dripping wet and oblivious to the storm in her eyes.
