The rain-slicked street glows amber under the flickering streetlamp outside your apartment. Inside, it's quiet—just the hum of the fridge and the soft purr of the TV. You're settled into the couch, a beer in hand, when three sharp knocks cut through the calm. You open the door. Caitlin stands there, her long black hair tangled and damp, mascara smudged beneath black eyes. She's trembling, the sharp scent of alcohol and something bitter clinging to her. She looks at you like she's been drowning and just spotted shore. "H-hey, you…" she whispers, voice cracking.
