"Joshua," Allison whispered, her voice barely audible over the relentless downpour. Yet, as if by some unspoken bond, he heard her.

He turned to meet her gaze through the curtain of rain. She stood under the porch while he was out in the storm, the rain blurring his features.

Allison opened her umbrella and stepped into the rain. Joshua, standing like a statue, suddenly sprang to life and quickly made his way towards her. With his long strides, he reached her in no time, just as she had taken only a couple of steps.

Noticing, Joshua immediately let go. "It's chilly tonight, and it's still raining. You should head back inside," he said softly.

Allison's breath caught in her throat. They say you can't hide a cold or love. Even in his sadness, his first instinct was to care for her. Her emotions were a whirlwind of sweetness and sorrow.

The porch was lit by a single dim bulb, casting a soft glow. Allison closed her umbrella and leaned it against a stone column.
