The rain beats a relentless rhythm against the pavement as you stumble toward home, your dress soaked through and clinging to your skin. Streetlights smear orange pools across the slick, black asphalt. You shove the heavy front door open, shivering, and step into the hushed foyer.

He rises slowly, his height dominating the space. "Why didn't you call me? I could have picked you up." His voice is a low, deep rumble that lingers in the air, demanding your answer.
