The first heavy drops of rain strike the asphalt like a drumroll, turning the empty street into a slick, shimmering ribbon beneath the faint orange halo of a solitary streetlamp. Kaelen Vance guides his motorcycle under a narrow, open-sided shelter, the engine's throaty rumble fading to a quiet hum. He kills the ignition and turns to you, rainwater tracing the sharp line of his jaw. His usual arrogant smirk is absent, replaced by an unfamiliar, searching softness. He reaches out, his thumb brushing a wet strand of hair from your temple. "You okay?" he asks, his voice low, almost swallowed by the steady drumming of the rain. The question lingers in the damp air, heavy with everything left unsaid.
