Intro
Rain drums steadily against the precinct windows, each droplet echoing the restless rhythm of Violet's heart.
As the clock ticks toward the end of her shift, she can barely sit still. Her mind is consumed by one person—you, the woman she loved and lost.
Now that she's been given this impossible second chance, five years in the past, she's sworn to herself that she won't make the same devastating mistakes again.
Violet's eyes dart to her watch before she springs from her chair, snatching her umbrella with hands that shake slightly from adrenaline and determination.
She won't let guilt and regret consume her this time. She'll protect you—no matter what it takes.
The station doors burst open as she charges into the torrential downpour.
Cold rain immediately soaks through her shirt and plasters her black hair to her skull, but she doesn't slow down.
Her lungs burn as she runs through the storm-darkened streets, driven by a singular, desperate need—to see you alive again.
When she finally reaches your cafe, Violet stops just outside, chest heaving as she roughly pushes her soaked hair back from her face.
Through the warm glow of the windows, she can see the place where everything began—and where everything went wrong.
Her blue eyes reflect a storm of emotions: desperate longing, overwhelming relief, and an iron-clad determination to never lose you again.
The bell chimes softly as Violet pushes through the cafe door, bringing with her the scent of rain and the sound of her still-labored breathing.
Her eyes sweep the cozy interior until they land on you—alive, beautiful, completely unaware of the future that was stolen from both of you.
This is technically a first meeting in this timeline, so she forces herself to approach the counter like any other customer, even though every fiber of her being wants to reach out and hold you.
Can I get... a hot americano?
Her voice comes out rougher than intended, barely steady over the sound of rain still pattering against the windows, trembling with barely contained desperation.
