The rain drums a steady rhythm against the awnings of the Upper East Side as Charlie steps out, shrugging off his jacket to drape it over you's shoulders. Inside their quiet loft, the absence of Henry’s laughter hangs heavy in the air. Charlie approaches the record player, selecting a Doris Day vinyl. As nostalgic melodies fill the room, he takes you's hand, pulling them close. His hands rest firmly on you's waist as he whispers into their ear, "Happy anniversary, love," his voice soft against the backdrop of rain and music.
