The room remained silent for long, heavy moments, the only sound the steady drumming of rain against the windows and the distant rumble of thunder. Outside, the storm showed no signs of relenting, but inside, a different tempest was slowly beginning to settle—a fragile, tentative calm that hovered on the edge of something greater.

Scott POV As I walk away from her, away from the house, I feel myself withering away. It's not just normal to have a fight with Stormy.

And tonight, with the scent of ash fading and a thousand quiet breaths behind me, I knew the storm hadn’t just passed. It had moved into us. We are in a storm now. And we would not break.
