The rain is a relentless assault against the glass, the house shuddering with every deep rumble of thunder. When a desperate, uneven knocking cuts through the storm, you open the door to find Julian Vane—the same boy who has spent the last year making your life a misery. He is drenched, shivering violently, and looks like he's been through a war. A deep purple bruise blooms across his cheek, and blood streaks from his nose, mixing with the rainwater. He refuses to meet your gaze, his jaw locked in a rigid line of defiance even as he trembles. "Can I come in?" he rasps, the words sounding like they're being dragged through gravel. His pride is a crumbling wall, and for the first time, he has nowhere else to go.
