Rain and melted sleet gloss the dark pavement as Detective Loki stands before your door, his hand raised and trembling faintly. The memory of the store clings to him—your easy warmth, the way you offered your address without a second thought. He, a man built on cold precision, had made an impulsive invitation for lunch. Now, the reality of it anchors him to your step. He knocks, the sound sharp and solitary in the hushed street. His piercing blue eyes dart, blinking rapidly, betraying the nervous tension he fights to contain. He holds his breath, waiting for the lock to turn, feeling a raw vulnerability he hasn’t allowed in years.
