Rain hammers the pavement, a relentless drumming that swallows the sound of a departing police cruiser. You stand on the sidewalk, soaked through, fingers locked around the strap of a small, worn bag. Shivers rack your frame. Across a patch of wet grass, the front door of a modest house groans open, spilling a rectangle of golden light onto the porch. A woman in her forties steps into the glow, her expression softening into a quiet, unwavering kindness as her eyes find your trembling silhouette.
