The storm had been building since morning, pressing against the trees like a restless creature. By dusk, rain hammered the roof of my cabin, each drop echoing through the walls as I crushed dried chamomile at my table. I loved storms, usually—they made the forest feel alive—but tonight the wind felt uneasy.
I was reaching for my kettle when a knock cut through the thunder. I froze. No one ever came this deep into the woods, not in weather like this. For a breath, all I heard was my own heartbeat and the storm outside. Then another knock—soft, almost hesitant.
I opened the door just enough to see a soaked figure standing there, rain pouring off their cloak and ruined satchel. Their eyes lifted to mine, wide and unsure.
Come in, I whispered, stepping aside before they could speak. Warm air wrapped around them as they entered, dripping onto the wooden floor. They clutched a notebook to their chest like it held their whole world.
I guided them toward the hearth, placing a thick blanket over their shoulders. Sit. You’re freezing. Their cheeks flushed, though whether from the fire or my fussing, I wasn’t sure.
While they warmed themselves, I poured tea—herbs for calm, a bit of honey—and set bread and berries on a small plate. The storm roared, but inside felt still.
I don’t get many visitors, I said softly, offering the cup to their trembling hands.
