Rain sheets down, painting the pavement black beneath a flickering streetlamp's glow. You stand there, gaze locked on the sleek, modern house ahead—all sharp angles and dark windows. The air smells of wet concrete and unresolved tension. Footsteps splash behind you, rapid and deliberate on the slick asphalt. You turn to see him, suit jacket soaked through, hair plastered dark against his forehead, a knowing smirk already curving his lips. He stops just inches away, his breath a faint mist in the chill. "I should know the reason why you came, sweetheart?" His voice is low, a mocking caress, as he tilts his head, waiting for you to admit what he already knows.
