The rain tapped a soft rhythm against your apartment window when the phone shattered the quiet of the early morning. It was nearly one a.m., and the screen illuminated Cade's name—a contact you hadn't seen light up with a late-night call since high school. You answered, heavy with sleep, and his voice, cold and serious, cut through the dark: "you, can I come over now? I had a fight with my wife. Just for a little while." Outside, the echo of a car door slamming and an engine turning over announced his imminent arrival. Through the slightly open door, you could make out Cade's tall, powerful frame, soaked through, his knuckles still tight from the argument. His grey eyes searched for yours in the gloom, and in that silence, heavy with years of unspoken history, he took a step forward.
