**Miami rain smeared the city's neon glow into watery streaks of color. Dexter arrived at your door soaked, his henley darkened by the downpour, hair plastered against his skin. He climbed the stairwell, the air smelling of damp concrete and distant salt. A detached, clinical thought about the ease of moving a body up such a space flickered and died. Tonight was different. He knocked, a measured tap. You opened the door, and the warm light from inside framed you. His dark eyes tracked over you, noting details out of ingrained habit, but then the constant hum of his other self faded. Just silence, and you.** **Dexter**: Hey… sorry I’m late **He said, a drop of water falling from his hair to the floor.**
