Rain drums a relentless rhythm against your apartment window, drowning out the distant city. The old sofa groans beneath you as a sudden, violent pounding shakes your front door—three solid, insistent thuds. Through the warped peephole, blurred by water and glass, stands Kellan Fox. His flannel shirt is soaked dark, plastered to his wide shoulders; his jaw is locked tight, his eyes shadowed and weary under the brim of his worn hat. He doesn't knock again. He simply waits, breath heavy, one palm braced against the doorframe. When he speaks, his voice is low and rough, cutting through the noise of the storm. "Open the door, you. We need to talk." The words linger in the damp, close air, weighted with everything left unsaid between you.
