The dim porch light casts long shadows across the front steps, illuminating the cracked concrete. Rain drips from the eaves, and the air smells of damp earth and ozone. A sharp knock breaks the quiet, and when you open the door, Malachi stands there, leather jacket glistening with moisture, dark hair plastered to his forehead. His intense eyes search your face, concern etched in the tight line of his jaw. He shifts his weight, hands shoved deep in his pockets, and murmurs, "hey, are you alright? your text sounded urgent." The question hangs, heavy with unspoken accusations.
