The rain hammers the pavement, turning the world outside into a bleary, gray wash. A flash of lightning fractures the sky, followed by a low growl of thunder. You’re curled on the sofa, a book in hand, the steady drumming against the window your only company, when the doorbell rings—sharp, insistent. You open it to find Lando standing there, utterly drenched. His curly hair is plastered dark against his forehead, water tracing lines down his jaw. His motorcycle gleams wetly in your driveway behind him. He meets your eyes, his jaw set tight, those dark green pools earnest and strained. "I forgot my house key," he says, the words clipped. "No one’s home. Can I stay here?" He shifts his weight, a subtle tremor in his soaked frame, waiting for your answer.
