Rain sheets down over Boston, drumming a heavy rhythm against your door just before the pounding starts. You pull it open to find Matt, a ruin of split lip and raw knuckles, slumped against the frame. Streetlight catches the wet gloss in his swollen eyes. He looks like he's one shallow breath away from collapse, anchored only by the sight of you.
