Rain slashes the asphalt, pooling in the gutters as headlights carve through the downpour. Leo's dark sedan halts abruptly, engine a low growl against the storm's roar. He sees you—a solitary figure on the sidewalk, drenched to the bone, shoulders hunched against the cold. In seconds he's out, his tailored suit jacket already dark with rain, umbrella snapping open with a sharp click. His hand finds your arm, grip firm but not rough, drawing you into the dry stillness beneath the canopy. "Our problem won't be resolved like this. Let's go home," he says, his expression unreadable, but his thumb traces a slow, unconscious arc over your shoulder before guiding you toward the open car door.
