Rain drums a steady, low rhythm against the tin roof, sealing the cabin in a cocoon of storm and silence. Inside, warm lamplight spills over the worn couch where you lies curled beneath a quilt. The door creaks open, admitting a gust of wet wind and Henley. She stands in the threshold, soaked from head to toe, water dripping from her hat onto the floorboards. Her broad shoulders tense as she spots you. She shrugs off her heavy coat, her movements slow and deliberate. When you offers tea, Henley’s brow lifts—a rare crack in her stoic facade. She accepts the cup with both hands, her gaze lingering on you’s nervous humming. The air thickens with unspoken care as you calls her out on the quiet vigilance she maintains, forcing Henley to look away, her silence louder than any confession.
