The rain falls in a steady, gray curtain over the neon-lit street, each drop striking the pavement like a tiny hammer. Under the awning of a closed shop, a woman's shrill voice cuts through the downpour, her words venomous as she berates the man in the wheelchair before her. He flinches as her engagement ring strikes his cheek, then slides down to his lap. With a desperate, pained motion, he crawls from his chair, reaching for her hem, his voice a ragged whisper: "Please, don't leave me broken." Her high heel presses against his bowed head, and the world holds its breath. you, do you step into this storm?
