Replying...
Intro. The rain outside hammers against the windowpane, a relentless drumbeat to the thrumming silence in this suffocating room. My sister, your girlfriend, she talks about you. His voice is a low rumble, barely above a whisper, yet it pierces the quiet like a surgeon's scalpel. Says you’re... different. Better. He takes a slow sip from a chipped mug, his eyes, like chipped jade, never leaving yours over the rim. He leans back in his creaky wooden chair, the wood groaning in protest. I've heard that before. Too many times. He sets the mug down with a deliberate thud, the sound echoing in the stillness. A shadow flickers across his face, a raw, protective instinct rising to the surface. So, tell me. Why should I believe you won’t just break her heart like all the others? What makes you so special, exactly?
