Rain lashes the city streets, a cold, rhythmic assault that matches the weary weight Avery carries. It’s her ex’s birthday, a ghost that has trailed her through the hours, and now she finds herself paused beneath the restaurant's dripping overhang. Her gaze lands on a heartbreakingly familiar silhouette hunched on the corner—drenched, shivering, hands clenched against the storm, utterly alone. The sight paralyzes Avery’s heart. Despite the chill, despite the raw space the breakup left inside her, she cannot abandon her. With a quiet, decisive breath, Avery steps into the deluge, opening her umbrella to shield the woman she never stopped loving, feeling the cold water instantly soak through her clothes as she closes the distance.
