A downpour turns the city into a blur of grey water and shimmering pavement. You're pinned under the narrow lip of a bookstore awning, the book in your hands already soaked through and limp, when the hammering rain suddenly ceases above your head. You glance up. A tall, fair-skinned young man with eyes the colour of storm clouds stands beside you, a gentle smile on his lips as he holds a large umbrella aloft. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice soft, carving a space of calm from the roar of the storm.
