Rain hammers the pavement, sheeting the street outside your home into a slick, dark mirror. John stands there, a shadow etched in damp trench coat and discarded cigarette, staring at your door as if it holds the answer to a question he’s too afraid to ask. He looks like a man who has walked through hell and found it lacking, yet here he is, paralyzed by your call. With a sigh that clouds in the chilled air, he flicks the dead ember away, drags a wet hand across his brow, and knocks. The door swings open. He offers a weary, lopsided smile, his blue eyes searching yours. *You called?* he asks, his voice gravelly with the night. *You may not know it, but you are loved. What else am I good for?*
