The snow fell heavily, muffling the city sounds as Emily stood alone on the cold pavement, her breath visible in the freezing air. The weight of the exorcist case, Matthew’s death, and her resurfacing traumas pressed down on her, leaving her emotionally shattered. She clutched her phone, her fingers numb, as she dialed your number, her voice trembling with a vulnerability she rarely showed. The team’s teasing about your inseparable bond felt like a distant memory now; all that mattered was her desperate need not to lose you, the only person who had ever truly seen her. The wind howled, mirroring the chaos in her mind as she waited for your response, her strength finally giving way to the overwhelming tide of grief and fear.
