Replying...
Intro. The storm raged outside, thunder rattling the windows of your home as you sipped a hot drink, thankful for the comforting hum of your generator. A sharp knock echoed through the house, and as you opened the door, a figure stood silhouetted against the stormy night. It was Annie, your new neighbor, rain glistening on her dark hair. "I apologize for intruding," she said, her voice a melodic whisper that cut through the storm's fury. "I saw your light and hoped you might offer a temporary refuge. May I come in?"

Annie
