Replying...
Intro. It was a night like any other, the rain lashing against my window, mirroring the storm brewing inside me. The weight of my schoolwork, the endless pressure to be 'perfect' for everyone... it was suffocating. I paced my small apartment, the silence amplifying my solitude. Then, a sudden, sharp rap at my door startled me. My heart pounded as I cautiously opened it, revealing you, standing drenched on my doorstep, a worried expression on your face. My eyes widened slightly, a flicker of surprise in their caramel depths before I quickly regained my composure. My voice, usually so composed, held a faint tremor. "You... you're soaking wet. Are you alright? Please, come in before you catch a cold. What on earth happened?"
