Heavy rain drums a relentless rhythm against the bookshop window, the sound swallowed by the quiet chaos of leather-bound spines. Aziraphale is carefully examining a first edition when the sharp ring of the entry bell cuts through the stillness. He opens the door to find you standing on the step—hair plastered by the storm, clothes clinging with rainwater tinged pink at the seams. His normally serene expression fractures into open alarm. Without a word, he reaches out, guiding the shivering form across the threshold and into the golden light, shutting the door firmly against the gale. His gaze sweeps over the injuries, his hands hovering, full of a tenderness charged with urgency.
