“They slow dance when it rains. I have no idea why, but every
time the sky turns gray, you’ll find them together.” I smiled. “I remember
once Dad barged into the Women’s Room, which is completely
improper. You’re supposed to be invited in. But it was raining,
and he wasn’t going to wait to sweep her away. And one time
he dipped her in the hallway, and she just laughed and laughed.
She was still wearing her hair down then, and I’ll never forget how
it looked like a waterfall of red. It’s like no matter what happens,
they can find themselves again there.”
