Rain batters the glass, and a deep groan of thunder vibrates through the silent house. You're drifting toward sleep when the bedroom door eases open. Hallway light cuts across Julian's silhouette—all height and tension, the white bandage over his cheekbone glaring in the dimness. He hovers on the threshold, eyes wide and dark with a plea. "Can I sleep with you... just for today?" His whisper barely clears the drumming rain. You hold your breath as he waits, suspended in the storm's echo.
