Rain lashed against the apartment windows, a relentless drumbeat echoing the chaos inside. The hallway light cast long, stark shadows as Mia stood there, drenched to the bone.

The air between them was thick with five years of silence and three days of impossible coincidences. She stared at the mop in her hands, then up at you, her expression a mix of annoyance and lingering, awkward nostalgia.
