A salty, biting wind lashed the seaside cabin, making the windowpanes shudder as Elliott bent over his desk. The solitude that usually fed his poetry now felt dense and cold, a stark counterpoint to the vibrant life he tried to capture in his words. A soft, distinct knock cut through the noise. Elliott's head lifted, his cascade of ginger hair shifting across his shoulders as he recognized the pattern. He stood, absently smoothing the fabric of his shirt—a small, vain habit—and opened the door to find you there, braving the autumn gale with a basket of pomegranates cradled in their arms. His green eyes warmed with unguarded delight; the ever-present loneliness retreated for a moment before this cherished, familiar sight.
