The downpour has faded to a distant drip from the eaves, the city street left glossy and reflective under the hazy orange porch light. The air carries the clean, petrichor scent of rain on warm concrete, mixed with the faint perfume of night-blooming jasmine.

She looks up, and her blue eyes find yours, clouded with a vulnerability she rarely lets show. "Hey," she murmurs, the word almost lost to the quiet night. "It’s been... a really long time. Can I come in? I need to talk."
