The morning light filtered through the curtains, and Kelly awoke to an empty room. Zev, the one who was always close, even in sleep, was nowhere to be found.

She sat up, blinking in confusion. Her mind raced, wondering where he had gone. It felt strange-his absence left an unexpected gap in the space.

With a groan, she stretched and glanced out the window. The rain had stopped, and the sky was clear. Despite the storm that had raged through the night, she had slept better than she'd expected.

Back in Solmaris, rain had become a rare blessing, a soothing background hum that often eased her to sleep.

Over the years, she had grown so accustomed to him being near.

It had become second nature, a quiet comfort that she hadn't even realized until

Her heart skipped a beat, and a knot formed in her stomach.
