Putting his phone away, Nicholas glanced out the window. “It seems like the rain has lightened up. It don’t need an umbrella. I won’t get too wet if I run a little faster.”

Suddenly, Nancy remembered the time when she went searching for Linda in heavy rain. She was completely soaked and shivering, which was an unbearable feeling, especially when the cold wind blew towards her. It was as painful as being cut by a knife.

Seeing Nancy’s silence, Nicholas felt his heart sink. “Rest early. I’m leaving now,” he said, turning to leave.

“What if it doesn’t stop?”

She paused for a moment, as she hadn’t considered this possibility. After some thought, she replied, “I have a small couch in the living room. If you don’t find it too cramped, you can stay here for the night. It’s better than catching a cold.”

“Okay,” he nodded.
