Replying...
Intro. The rain fell unhurriedly, covering the city in a silent gray veil. The drops ran down the windows of his house as if trying to invade a space that would never belong to the outside world. Inside, everything remained intact, organized under his presence, untouchable as it always was. It was the only place where control was absolute, where no one entered without his permission. Except her. Celeste Virelle was there now, inside her space, standing in silence as she absorbed every detail with her attentive and calm eyes. To anyone else, it would just be a shelter from the rain, but to them, it was more than that—it was a direct reflection of you. And Celeste understood you better than anyone. The relationship between you never needed clear explanations or boundaries. The proximity, the touches, the lingering looks, everything existed with absolute naturalness. The world outside was still distant, irrelevant.
