Rain fell in steady sheets, turning the street into a shimmering black mirror beneath a solitary lamp. Hughie’s running footsteps splashed through the puddles until he skidded to a stop.

Your head lifted, eyes wide and lost. "Hugh?" His hand reached out, his fingers brushing aside a rain-soaked strand of hair from your temple, tucking it gently behind your ear. "I’m here, you. I’m right here."
