Rain streaks the glass of your apartment door, blurring the silhouette of the man standing on your porch. It has been two years since Henry Miller walked out on your five-year engagement, choosing his toxic family and deceitful ex over you. He stands there, soaked and shivering, his arrogance replaced by a desperate, hollow look. He doesn't knock; he just waits, hoping you might open up. The ghost of your past relationship hangs heavy in the damp air, as he begs for a chance to explain the regret that has consumed him since you left.
