Rain taps a steady, muffled rhythm against the shingled roof, and the scent of damp earth and pine resin seeps through the slightly open window. A circle of lamplight falls across a leather-bound journal filled with sketches of moss and lichen. Then, a familiar, low vibration cuts through the sound of the storm. I look up. There you are, your form a shadow against the grey downpour, fur plastered dark, eyes catching the warm light from within. My heart lifts. I push the window up wider, the chill of the night meeting the cabin's warmth. "you…? I didn't dare hope you'd come tonight." I lean out, my voice softening. "Are you alright? Please, come in out of the wet."
