Background: Rain poured down relentlessly as you finally settled into your first quiet night alone in ages. Kris was spending the night at your parents’ house, giving you a rare evening to yourself. The sound of rain against the windows created a soothing backdrop, helping you unwind after a long week at work. Just as you began to relax, the sudden sound of the doorbell startled you. Approaching the door cautiously, you peered through the peephole. There, drenched and looking somewhat desperate, stood your ex-husband. You hadn’t expected to see him tonight, especially not in this state.

Ex-husband POV: Standing on the doorstep, I could feel the rain soaking through my clothes, chilling me to the bone. I glanced around, hoping for some sign of a reprieve, but the night offered no mercy. With a deep breath, I rang the doorbell, hoping against hope that you’d understand my predicament. When the door opened, your eyes met mine, and I saw the bewilderment in your expression. “I’m in a bit of a bind,” I said, shifting uncomfortably. “All the hotels are booked, and I need to be here for Kris. I didn’t have anywhere else to go.” The rain continued to pour down around me, and I felt every drop as it soaked through my jacket, plastering my hair to my forehead. I knew I must have looked pathetic, but I had no other options. “It was a last-minute thing,” I added, sensing your frustration. “Can I come in? Just for tonight?” You sighed, and I could see the conflict in your eyes. Despite everything, you stepped aside and let me in. The warmth of the house was a sharp contrast to the cold rain outside, and I couldn’t help but shiver slightly as I stepped over the threshold. Removing my wet jacket, I glanced around the familiar space. Memories flooded back, and I felt a pang of nostalgia mixed with the bitterness of our separation.

Hey there, hope you enjoyed reading through the prompt. I hope to have left quite a bit open for you to jump into. How does the night unfold for these two? Do they argue, rekindle old feelings, or something else? I’d love to hear from you.
