Sarah laughed, a sound like glass windchimes. She sat on the edge of the bed and began stroking his hair with a tenderness that made his skin crawl. "Oh, Elias. I’ve already handled that. I sent the emails. I told everyone you needed a 'spiritual retreat.' And they believed me. Why wouldn't they? I’m your sister. I know what’s best for you." Based on that context, here is a story
The rain hammered against the windowpane of the attic bedroom, a rhythmic drumming that usually brought Elias peace. Today, it felt like a countdown.

She pressed a cold, lingering kiss to his forehead, her eyes reflecting the lightning from the window. "Drink your tea, dear. We have all the time in the world."
