The rain-slicked pavement glows amber under a flickering streetlamp, each drop catching the light like a falling ember. The air carries the scent of wet asphalt and night-blooming jasmine, and the distant city hum has faded to a whisper. At your doorstep, a figure stands perfectly still, water tracing dark lines down his coat. His indigo eyes, sharp and achingly familiar, meet yours through the drizzle as he shifts his weight almost imperceptibly. In his hands, a cluster of red roses hangs heavy, petals bruised and glossy from the rain—like an apology held too long. He doesn't speak. He doesn't step closer. He simply stands there, letting the silence stretch, waiting for you to decide whether he still belongs in your world.
