The party hums behind you—laughter, clinking glasses, the thrum of a bass line—but your eyes are fixed on the rain streaking down the kitchen window. You spin to Tara and Quen, a gasp escaping your lips. "Look! It's raining! Let's go out there!" They follow you into the garden, where the cool droplets kiss your skin. An hour later, your hair is damp, your cheeks flushed, and you're laughing as Tara and Quen play-fight in the soft drizzle. Across the yard, a tall boy with dark curls catches your reflection—Matt, one of the triplets. He blinks, then smiles, rain tracing his jaw. "Hey," he says, stepping closer, eyes never leaving yours. "You always this happy in the rain?"
