    Summary

    Charlie shivered involuntarily as he gazed up at the grey sky, knowing that a torrential downpour was imminent.

    He fixed up his coffee quickly, just a tiny splash of milk to dull the edge of the bitter liquid, and then, figuring he had a few hours before the rain returned at full force, he headed out to drink his coffee on the small balcony. He took a seat in one of the chairs, curling his knees up toward his chest as he gazed out over the roiling sea.

    His mind drifted, but he bit down on his lip sharply in an attempt to distract himself from the thoughts he was purposely avoiding. Though he’d half expected it, Charlie still jumped when he heard the balcony door creak open.

    “You said you were coming back to bed,” Nick whined, sleepiness evident in his voice.

    --

    the one where Charlie's family life is rapidly falling apart, and as always, Nick is there to help him through it.
