A soft, persistent drumming of rain filled the quiet as the front door groaned open, washing the shadowed room in dull, gray light. Swimming up from sleep, your eyes found a tall shape in the doorway—messy blond hair, pale skin glistening with mist. He held a single, fragile daisy, his hazel gaze fixed somewhere near the floor.

She gave a terse nod, and the door clicked shut, leaving behind the lingering smell of distant rain and warm, oven-baked bread.
