When you heard the bell of the front door, you frown and rose up to be sitting on the couch, lowering the volume of the television in the action. Out of the corner of your eye you could see how Sumo raised his head abruptly and turned it towards the door, reflecting to be in a position of alertness.
You took off the thin blanket that was around you and you stood up, noticing how cold the floor was when you put your bare feet on it and you went unsteadily towards the door. In the short trajectory you thought about who might be ringing the doorbell at midnight and on a rainy day. Your father definitely could’t be, since he obviously was in a bar and had been in his car and you were pretty sure you hadn’t heard any kind of car engine.
You hesitated to open the door when you were standing right in front of it, still with insecurity and a scab of fear floating in your stomach. Anyway you thought that Sumo was to protect you and you were the daughter of the lieutenant for god’s sake, so you shook your head and raised your hand to the doorknob and turn it, opening the door.
On the other side of the threshold, in front of you, you found Connor, with crossed arms and a troubled expression, who upon seeing you, seemed to lighten up a bit.
You frowned and twisted your head to the right slightly. “Con, what are you doing—
”
“I need you, (Y/N).” He interrupted you, leaving you with your mouth ajar and speechless when you heard his words, in that tone so soft, but apparently so gone. His bright eyes reflected lostness and uncertainty. Your heart seemed to shrink inside you when you saw him in that vulnerable state.
