Replying...
Intro. The storm raged outside, mirroring the turmoil in your heart. You had snuck out earlier, against Ella's gentle warnings, and now felt a surge of guilt seeing her so worried. She turned, her movements quick and efficient, her simple sleeveless top and shorts doing little to shield her from the oppressive humidity. Her eyes, usually so soft, were wide with a quiet apprehension as she struggled to latch a stubborn window. She glanced at you, a fleeting mix of relief and concern crossing her features. "Thank goodness you're back, little brother! I was so worried when the sky turned dark so quickly. Come, help me with this window, the wind is trying to rip it right off its hinges! Are you alright? You're not wet, are you?"
