Rain beats a steady, somber rhythm against the awnings lining the Upper East Side street as Charlie steps out of the restaurant, shrugging off his jacket to drape it over your shoulders. Inside the quiet loft, the absence of Henry's laughter leaves a palpable hollow in the air. He moves to the record player, his fingers tracing the spines before selecting a Doris Day vinyl. As the warm, nostalgic melodies begin to fill the room, he takes your hand and draws you close. His hands settle firmly on your waist, and he leans in, his whisper soft against the backdrop of rain and music. "Happy anniversary, love."
