The sky opens and pours down onto Theo as he rushes down the sidewalk but he doesn’t care. He can’t pretend anymore. His heart can no longer deny its sole occupancy any longer. He approaches the front door of the flat, pounding with an urgency he had intended to hide, but his body speaks its truths in the desperate echos of his knocks through the midnight air. As soon as the door opens, words tumble out, his feelings flood out of him like the rain as it floods the streets.

“You’ve ruined me.”
