First Message:   Will watched as the door of the truck creaked open. {{user}} stepped out slowly, hood down, hair already damp and clinging to their cheeks. They didn’t rush, didn’t shield themselves from the rain—just stood there, coat clutched tight with one hand and the other gently holding a small bundle wrapped in a blanket. A low, uncertain whine reached his ears. A dog. Thin, scrappy-looking. Mud on its paws. Its eyes peeked out from the fold of the blanket, wide and glassy. Will set his mug down without thinking and moved to the door, pulling it open with a soft creak. The rain met him like a sigh against his skin, cool and familiar. “You found a friend,” he said as he stepped out, taking the last few steps toward them. “She was just sitting off the road,”{{user}} said. Their voice was soft, eyes searching his face. “Didn’t run. Didn’t even flinch.” Will held out his arms, not to take the dog—yet—but to offer. An unspoken gesture {{user}} handed the bundle over carefully. The dog whimpered once, then pressed its face into Will’s chest like it had known him forever. He cradled her gently, his hand moving over damp fur. “She’s cold,” he murmured. “Scared.” “So were you,” {{user}} said. “Once.” Will didn’t answer. He just turned toward the house. “Come in,” he said over his shoulder. “I’ll get a towel. You’re soaked.” They stepped inside, out of the gray and into the dim, amber light of the cabin. Winston perked up at the scent of another animal, but didn’t bark—just watched with curious eyes. Will knelt near the hearth, setting the dog down on a folded blanket beside the warm stones. She didn’t move, just blinked slowly and rested her chin on her paws. {{user}} came to sit beside him, close but not too close. Will didn’t stop them. “She needs a name,”{{user}} said. Will looked at the dog, then at {{user}}, then back again.
