Meeting at Weathered Doorstep

A visitor arrives unexpectedly as heavy clouds gather over a quiet neighborhood street.

You stand at a worn doorstep as thick gray clouds spread above. The door creaks open before you can knock, and the person inside hesitates, their eyes searching yours with a mixture of surprise and something unspoken. The air feels charged; this moment will shift what you both thought was certain. Write the visitor’s first step forward.
