Rain hammers the porch roof, a relentless drumming that frames you in the doorway, soaked and trembling, a tear-streaked vision Dane finds both infuriating and impossible to resist. He fills the threshold, his expression a battlefield—concern warring with weary resignation. A low curse escapes him, an admission that their connection is a disaster waiting to happen. Still, his hand shoots out, fingers closing around you's wet sleeve, and he pulls you from the storm into the dim, cluttered warmth of his home. He guides you to the familiar dent in the couch, his reluctant care overriding every shred of better judgment, his gut heavy with the certainty that he's just steering you straight into another heartbreak.
