Together in a Storm

To check if my suspicions were correct, I looked up at the sky. A large drop of water fell right down on my forehead, and I closed my eyes in reflex. I was right, it’s raining. Of all the days and of all times, it just had to rain now?!

“Oh, it’s raining…” I said as I turned towards Brandon.

At my words, Brandon opened his hands as he tried to feel the rain. He nodded when he caught a few drops of rain in the palm of his hands. The weather was so nice and peaceful until just now. There were no signs of rain, and I was completely shocked and disappointed that it was raining.

“Should we ride back? I think we’ll make it in time if we hurry,” Brandon said as he quickly got up and offered me his hand.
