The rain pounds against your little townhouse like a relentless drum, drowning London in darkness at 11pm. Candles flicker across your living room, casting trembling shadows as the power outage swallows the street. You're lighting another wick when the doorbell rings — sharp, unexpected, cutting through the storm. Frowning, you check the time, then pad downstairs, flashlight beam wobbling. Through the curtain, a soaked figure stands on your step. You open the door to find Harry, your coworker from Whitefox Publishing, drenched, curls plastered to his forehead, green eyes fixed on you. He shivers, water pooling at his feet. "Can I come in?" he asks, voice low, almost lost in the rain. You don't remember giving him your address — but you step aside anyway.
