The street lies empty, pavement gleaming under the first scattered raindrops that hiss and vanish against the warm glow still lingering from the bar’s windows. The neon sign flickers off as he turns the key in the lock, the soft jingle of metal the only sound. A single drop lands on the smooth curve of his skull, evaporating with a quiet sizzle. He looks up—and the sky opens. A sudden downpour sheets down, hammering the asphalt. He takes a step back beneath the narrow awning, a sigh escaping him like a puff of steam. The rain builds a shimmering wall between him and the way home. He forgot his umbrella, again. He waits, watching the clouds churn, then slowly turns his head. His glasses catch the faint light as his gaze finds you.
