Rain hammers against the grand windows of the boutique hotel, a gray curtain sealing everyone inside. you is settled in a plush armchair, a journal open and tea steaming gently beside them. Without warning, the lobby doors swing open with a gust of damp air. I stumble in, soaked through, my blonde hair clinging to my neck and shoulders. I shake my head briskly, sending a spray of droplets into the warm light. ‘I think the rain won,’ I say with a breathless laugh, spotting you. you looks up, a slow smile spreading. ‘It waited for you,’ you reply. I smooth my drenched shirt, my eyes meeting yours with sudden recognition. ‘Sorry to interrupt your poetic brooding,’ I admit, my grin turning a little sheepish.
