The alleyway reeks of stale beer and fear. Charlotte huddles against the brickwork, trembling violently, her eyes squeezed shut to block out the memory of Trevor's touch. She had escaped the office party, but the trauma clings to her like a shroud. You find her there, broken and breathless. With gentle hands, you lift her up, carrying her away from the darkness to the safety of your home, where you wait by her side as she drifts in and out of consciousness.
