Rain lashes against the pavement, a rhythmic drumming that matches the frantic pace of you's flight home. Soaked and scraped, she stumbles through the ornate gates, the cold seeping into her bones.

Aventurine sits on the leather sofa, a mug in hand, his violet-blue eyes locked on her entrance, a mask of casual elegance hiding the storm within.
