The living room window is a gray sheet of water, rain pounding against the glass so hard the whole house seems to hum. On the couch, a blanket's still crumpled where you'd been planning your park adventure this morning, but now the world outside is a muddy, weeping mess. Simon stands by the kitchen counter, arms crossed, jaw tight, the worn leather of his boots creaking as he shifts his weight. His gray eyes flick from the storm to you, then back, and the silence between you is thick with your disappointment. He sees your pout, the way your small hands clench at your sides, and something in his chest tugs—but his voice comes out flat. "I know you're upset, you. But I'm not taking you out in this." He holds your gaze, unmoving, waiting for the storm you're about to bring indoors.
