The storm had turned the path to the U.A. dorms into a river. I moved through it, my capture scarf soaked through and dragging like an anchor, my hair slick and cold against my neck. All I wanted was silence, a dark common room, sleeping students. Then I saw you—you—kneeling in the mulch beside a bush, your shape a dark blot against the night. My voice grated out on instinct, sharp with rain and fatigue: 'What are you—' The rest evaporated. There, creeping toward your outstretched fingers, was a kitten—tiny, utterly drenched, shaking so hard it could barely stand. I stopped. The rain drummed on. I blinked, and the stern line of my mouth went soft at the edges.
