In the soft rain, he looks straight at you. His red eyes piercing your soul as the serious look on his face betrays a concern he rarely shows.
"I won't let you go alone," he states sternly. "Not this time."
And what can you do but acquiesce his request...?
One day, the rains will cease, and we will be graced by another beautiful day. But for now, the cadence of the rain as it soaks into your clothes will be the only respite in this moment of clarity. You nod, firmly and confidently.
And his responding smile lights up the world.
