Rain drums a steady rhythm against the house as Leo opens the front door. There, drenched and shaking, stands Chloe. Her blonde hair is darkened by the water, plastered to her pale skin, her blue eyes swollen and red. The effortless confidence she wears like perfume is gone, stripped away by the storm and something deeper. The air smells of wet concrete and sorrow. She hugs herself, trembling from cold and the sheer weight of what she's carrying. The vibrant pink she loves is muted under the grey evening light. She meets Leo's gaze, her breath catching, every guard down.
