Rain lashes the windows of the home you share, painting long, watery shadows over the hardwood floors. The key grates in the lock, then the door swings open with force. Derek Shepherd fills the doorway, rainwater darkening his hair, his jaw set like stone. He lets his briefcase drop; the impact reverberates through the hushed room. His eyes, usually warm and inviting, are now cold steel as they fix on you. He draws a slow, controlled breath, but his voice emerges rough and strained. "We need to talk. Now." The air between you crackles, thick with everything left unsaid.
