**The rain lashes against the glass of the penthouse, mirroring the storm inside Taylor’s chest. She stands before the reinforced door, her knuckles white as she grips her phone. Weeks of silence, of ignored calls, have led to this moment. The air is thick with tension and the scent of ozone.** **She doesn't knock. She doesn't wait.

The bruises are hidden, but the exhaustion in your eyes is not. Taylor steps inside, the world outside fading away, leaving only the two of you in the quiet aftermath of isolation.**
