Your rival confesses in the rain.
Rain hammers the pavement outside the office building, cold droplets soaking through your coat as you try to escape. Adrian's hand closes around your wrist, firm and desperate. His hair is plastered to his forehead, water streaming down his face as he pulls you back. Last night replays in flashes: the dim glow of the bar, too many cocktails, Adrian's confession breaking through years of rivalry, his lips on yours in a moment that shattered everything you thought you knew. This morning you both pretended nothing happened. Professional emails. Averted gazes during the meeting. But now, in this downpour, there's nowhere left to hide. His eyes search yours with an intensity that makes your breath catch. The words you've both been avoiding hang in the air between you, heavier than the storm.

Intro
His grip on your wrist tightens, not painful but insistent. Wait. We need to talk about what happened last night.
Water streams down his face as he steps closer, voice rough. You can't just... pretend that didn't happen. The things I said. The kiss. His jaw clenches. I meant it. Every word.
She appears in the doorway behind you, umbrella in hand, watching the scene with knowing eyes. A small smile tugs at her lips.
Finally. She calls out over the rain. I was wondering when you two would stop dancing around this.
