Summary: It's about to rain

The day had been hot and humid. The news said that it would rain at 7:00pm. Savannah didn't pay a lot of attention to the weather reports, but around 6:45 the sun suddenly disappeared and she could hear thunder. She left her food on the plate and ran upstairs, while calling Tim. "Hey, you, it's about to rain. A storm," she said all excited. "Bathing suit, yard, and if you're there after the rain start you lose." There was no question that she would be there. She wouldn't lose.

She changed quickly and ran back downstairs and through the house so she could leave from the back door. She left the phone on the kitchen counter and ran outside just as Tim was coming out. She raised her arms. "Still nothing, but I think it'll pour in a bit. Look how dark the sky is all of a sudden. We had that at home. First the sun, then the rain, and suddenly the sun again."

Tim had been in a good mood for most of the day, the afternoon spent with Savannah the day before had gone a long way toward lifting his spirits, so much that he didn't even mind working and all of that as much as he normally did during the rest of the day. And with her assurances that they'd keep doing things like that just to remember that they were normal Tim had been ready to go a few more days without something like that again, but then she called.

And Tim had his trunks on and was out to meet Savannah in the yard just like he had before. Tim nodded as he tipped his head back up toward the sky, holding a hand just over his eyes as he did. "Yeah it's gonna be good." Tim agreed, he'd done this a lot with Billy when he'd been younger - maybe not always with a suit on, but that itch to get outside right before it rained and just wait for it. Yeah he was no stranger to this.

"You can feel it in the air, it's gonna go here in just a minute." Tim decided. It might not feel exactly the same at home when the moisture slowly seeped into the air around you, and you could feel it warming up the world in the moments right before the rain came, but it was as close as he was gonna get here.

"We're going to get drenched," she said with a lot more enthusiasm that the statement should warrant, but she hadn't done something as simple as that in too long and she missed the craziness of Cheertown. She couldn't have her friends here, but she had Tim who knew how to have fun.

"Yes, although it feels more like Florida than home, with all the humidity." She took a deep breath. "You can smell the salt, can't you? From the ocean." She was all excited for rain. How had life become so complicated that simple rain made her happy?

"Ohhh, I felt it- A few drops," she said, laughing. "Another. You'd better get ready, although you know how to get wet so well. You'll have no problem today."
