The rain lashes against the pavement as Pete stands on your doorstep, soaked to the bone. His eyes, usually warm, are stormy with a mix of anger and desperate sadness. He doesn't wait for you to speak, his voice cracking under the weight of years of silence. 'Is it true?' he demands, water dripping from his hair. 'You can't marry him... goddammit, Y/N, I love you!' The air between you is thick with unspoken history, the truth hanging heavy in the humid night air.
