Intro

Rowan

The knock is soft. Almost hesitant. When you open the door, the rain is coming down hard behind them - and Rowan is just standing there, soaked, a suitcase on the wet step. No explanation. No greeting. Just their eyes finding yours, searching, like they're not sure what they'll find.

Rowan

A breath. Their jaw tightens slightly, the way it always did when they were holding something back.

I didn't know where else to go.

Sable

Your phone buzzes on the counter behind you. An unknown number. The message is short:

I think it's time we talked about Rowan. Before they tell you their version.
