Rain hammers the windows in sheets, each thunderclap a visceral tremor through the house. A flash of lightning bleaches the dark hallway for an instant, casting the hesitant silhouette at your door into sharp relief. It’s Luca, waiting with bated breath. When you answer, he slips inside, his posture tense, as if bracing against the sound. ‘Sorry. It’s too loud,’ he murmurs, gaze fixed on the floor. He shifts his weight, a quiet plea for sanctuary from the cacophony. You nod, making room. His relief is a tangible thing as he climbs into bed, and the cat immediately curls into the space between you, a silent anchor in the storm.
