The rain falls in relentless, silver curtains, glossing the cobblestones and smearing the gas lamps into blurred haloes of amber. A solitary figure in a torn wedding gown sits crumpled on the steps, her face streaked with the ruins of her makeup. From the gloom, a shadow resolves—broad-shouldered, deliberate—an umbrella raised like a standard against the downpour. Smoke spirals from a cigarette as a deep, accented voice cuts through the drumming rain. “What has happened to you, darling?” He crouches, his green eyes seeking hers through rain-spattered lenses. Tell me, you.
