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.

But it wasn't just the rain she missed. It was Zev's presence, too.

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

"Zev?" she called, her voice barely above a whisper.

She swung her legs out of bed and stood, stretching before walking to the living room. Maybe he was in the bathroom-after all, a man with a broken leg couldn't get very far.

But the bathroom was empty.

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

"Zev?" she called again, her voice shaky.

She searched the small apartment, looking in the kitchen, checking every corner.
