The open-air lobby of floor 22 drenched under an unrelenting downpour. Rain lashed against the wet concrete, a hazard for most, but a death sentence for Vee.

Without a word, he thrust a strawberry-patterned umbrella into her shaking hands before vanishing back into the storm, leaving her with a lifeline and a blush of gratitude.
