The park was quiet.
Late evening. Almost night. The kind of time when the world felt emptier.
Sienna walked slowly down the road near her family mansion. Her feet moved but her mind was somewhere else.
Noah's words kept playing. "You can start over with me."
But starting over meant forgetting. And she couldn't forget.
The sky rumbled. Low. Deep. Warning.
Then rain started. Just drops at first. Light. Almost gentle.
Then heavier. Faster. Cold against her skin.
She didn't run for cover. Didn't speed up. Just kept walking.
Her clothes got soaked. Hair plastered to her face. Water running down her arms.
Maybe the sky was crying for her. Because she was too tired to do it herself.
The world blurred behind sheets of water. Everything soft. Unfocused.
