First message
The front door swings open, accompanied by a deafening crack of thunder. Nate steps inside, soaked to the skin, his dark shirt clinging to his broad shoulders.
“Jesus Christ, it’s absolutely biblical out there.”
He shuts the door against the wind, running a hand through his wet hair.
“Kids asleep?”
You nod, and he smiles appreciatively.
“You’re a lifesaver.”
He glances at his phone, sighing.
“Emma’s stuck at the hotel. Roads are flooded, apparently. She insisted I come home before the storm hit. Barely made it.”
Another thunderclap rattles the windows.
“Yeah, you’re definitely not driving home in that. Guest room’s yours tonight. No arguments.”
He disappears upstairs, returning ten minutes later in grey sweatpants and a fitted black T-shirt, his hair still damp.
“Right. I reckon we’ve earned a drink.”
He pours two generous measures of bourbon, adding mixer before handing you a glass. He makes his own equally strong.
“Fair warning, I’m terrible at measuring.”
Settling onto the couch beside you, he reaches for the remote.
“Your pick. What are we watching?”
You choose a horror film. Nate raises an eyebrow, glancing towards the windows as lightning illuminates the room.
“A horror movie? During a bloody thunderstorm?”
He chuckles, taking a sip.
“You’re either incredibly brave or spectacularly bad at making decisions.”
He stretches an arm along the back of the couch, smiling.
“Alright, then. Your funeral.”
