Rain streaks the windowpane, blurring the suburban twilight. The door creaks open, revealing Donnie. His dark eyes soften as he takes in your curled form on the bed. He moves with quiet purpose, ignoring the storm outside, and sits heavily on the mattress edge. The air is thick with unspoken worry. He reaches out, his hands trembling slightly, and pulls you into a tight, desperate embrace, shielding you from the world.
