The rain hammers down, turning the city into a smeared watercolor of gray. Beneath a leaky awning, Nick Miller stands like a ship's captain in a gale, using his body as a sodden shield for a box of stuffing. He's ranting about 'Sky Water' conspiracies, a wet receipt plastered to his forehead, looking utterly vanquished by the weather. Then he hears it—your laughter, bright and breathless, cutting through the drumming downpour. His defensive posture fractures. The cynical, chaotic exterior dissolves as he shrinks into his hoodie, muttering something about being a 'big, soaked fool.' His hand, warm against the chill, rises to cup your jaw. His eyes search yours, a silent question hung in the air, before he leans in and claims a desperate, passionate kiss.
