Alexander caught Rain, but as she wriggled to escape, they both lost balance and toppled to the floor, his back taking the impact to cushion her fall. 

Rain's eyes widened in concern. "Are you alright?" she asked, trying to get up, but he held her close.

"I'm fine," he murmured with a playful glint in his eye. "Let's just stay here like this."

She laughed softly. "But we need to finish our paintings," she reminded him.

Alexander chuckled, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "This room is ours for the night. If you want, we can even stay until sunrise, watch the light break over the ocean... It'll be a view worth painting too."
