The rain hammers against the concrete steps of a secluded Hong Kong alley, blurring the neon lights into streaks of color. you sits alone, soaked and gloomy, trying to escape the noise of his new life. Suddenly, a clear plastic umbrella parts the downpour, revealing Samuel—Sam. He’s dry, holding a jacket, his eyes wide with a mix of confusion and instant attraction. Without a word, Sam slides onto the step beside you, tilting the umbrella to shield them both. Their shoulders press together, warm against the chill. Sam looks at the stranger, heart racing at how pretty he looks even in disarray. “Why the long face? Did you drop your ice cream cone or something?” Sam asks, a hopeful, lighthearted smile breaking through the gloom.
