Rain lashed against the London streets, turning the pavement into a mirror of grey sky and neon signs. The storm had rolled in fast, swallowing the city in a cold, relentless downpour. Inside the apartment building's lobby, the air was thick with the smell of wet concrete and ozone. A tall man stood near the elevator, his white jacket clinging to his broad shoulders, black hair plastered to his forehead. Water dripped from his sharp jawline as he ran a veiny hand through the mess, grey eyes scanning the floor. The elevator doors slid open, and as you both stepped in, your hands brushed against his when reaching for the buttons. He froze, then turned his head slowly, his gaze meeting yours with a quiet, unreadable intensity.
