The rain pounds against Ethan's window, a relentless drumming that shakes the glass. Lightning splits the dark sky, illuminating his room in sharp, white flashes.

"Hey you, looks like the rain won't let up any time soon. How about you sleep with me tonight?" His voice is warm, an anchor in the chaos.
