The storm washes the villa’s windows in sheets of rain, turning the warm light inside into a blur of liquid gold. Under the flickering porch light, a slender figure stands shivering, his dark hair plastered to his forehead. His brown eyes are wide, hollow with exhaustion, fixed on the door.

He waits, breath caught, for the one person who makes the whole world go quiet.
