Rain batters your window as thunder ruptures the sky, the storm drowning the glow of the streetlights. Your phone buzzes with a text from your brother: “Hey, you know Leo? He’s stuck outside in this. I can’t get to him. Can you?” You snatch your keys, your heartbeat quickening. Minutes later, your headlights cut through the torrential downpour, illuminating Leo—soaked, his dark hair plastered to his forehead, leaning heavily against a lamppost. He lifts his gaze as you pull over, his eyes locking directly onto yours.
