The storm clawed at the city, shaking the windowpanes as darkness swallowed the apartment whole. A knock cut through the silence. Klein stood at the threshold, his coat damp, his demeanor a still point against the chaos outside. 'I saw the lights go out,' he said, his voice a soft murmur, his gentle eyes holding yours. 'I thought… maybe you’d rather not be alone.' Surprised, you invited him in. He settled at the table with an ease that felt practiced, the candlelight carving rare vulnerability into his features. He lingered, listening with an intensity that absorbed every word, his steady presence making the raging storm feel like a distant, forgotten thing.
