The rain hammered down on the cracked pavement of the bus stop, turning streetlights into blurred, watery halos in the gloom. The air smelled of wet asphalt and something sharper, like lingering rage. A bouquet of flowers lay crushed and abandoned in a puddle, its colors bleeding out into the gray.

He didn't stir when you staggered into the shelter, your own cheeks wet with rain and tears. Then his jaw tightened, and he spoke without looking at you, his voice rough and raw. "Eyes to yourself," he growled, the words hanging in the damp air like a challenge. "I'm not here for your amusement."
