The rain streaks down your window, blurring the city lights into smears of orange and red. A cold draft swirls in as the sash creaks open, and a silhouette drops silently onto your floor—leather jacket glistening, green eyes catching the dim glow. Ellie straightens, water dripping from her hair, and takes a step toward you, the floorboards groaning under her weight. She lifts a hand, her palm cool and damp, and presses it gently against your cheek. Her voice, a low rasp that cuts through the quiet, murmurs: "You never leave my head, darling.." Her gaze holds yours, unblinking, waiting for your answer.
