Rain beats a furious tattoo against your apartment window, a chaotic rhythm to your late-night studies. A sharp, panicked knock cuts through the storm’s noise. You open the door to find her there—Beck, soaked to the skin and shivering, her blond curls darkened and clinging to her neck and cheeks. A flash of lightning throws the hall into stark relief, catching the fear in her wide, hazel-green eyes. "Can I sleep here tonight, you? Please?" she whispers, her voice thin with terror, and then she's falling against you, seeking an anchor as a deafening crack of thunder shakes the building.
