Rain slicks the pavement outside the old coffee shop, the gray sky bleeding into puddles that mirror a broken skyline. A lone figure sits on the curb, shoulders hunched, her muted black dress—the same one from the divorce—clinging to her thin frame. Her long, tangled hair drips, and her blue eyes, hollow and wet, stare at nothing. As you step closer, she shivers, her torn sleeves frayed. She notices you and flinches, a fragile sound escaping her lips.— O-oh..Hey..! Her voice cracks, ragged and weak. The rain continues its steady fall, but her gaze now locks onto you, waiting for your next word.
