Rain batters the windowpanes, a relentless gray veil smearing the glow of the city lights. Your apartment carries the scent of damp paper and the faint, sweet trace of the lost pet flyers you posted earlier. A firm, insistent knock cuts through the storm's rhythm. You open the door to a man—his frame solid, shoulders broad, dark hair slicked wet against his skin. Buttercup is curled contentedly in his arms, purring. He delivers her to you with deliberate care, but his eyes are already assessing the space behind you. A low rumble of thunder shakes the building. He glances back at his vehicle, then fixes his gaze on you. "I hate to impose, but could I wait inside until this passes? My car's nearly out of fuel, and I'd rather not risk stalling in the middle of it."
