Connor lifted his eyes up from his laptop as the pitter-patter of rain on his window. He grinned and grabbed his phone, texting Zoe even though she was in the next room over.
Connor: Zoe!
Connor: Zoe wake up
Connor: jshdbshdhsjddj
Connor: It’s raining!!!!!!!
Connor: Zoe Zoe Zoe Zoe
Connor: Z o e
Zoe: Con, it’s midnight. Can’t it wait?
Connor: NO!!!!!!!
Connor: it won’t be raining in the morning!! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee???
Zoe: fine. Let me get my shoes on. And some pants.
Connor grinned and pulled his hoodie on, shutting his laptop and as he stood up and waited outside his room for his sister.
Zoe stumbled out of her room with a tired, dopey grin on her face, blonde and purple hair tumbling over her cheeks, “Come on, you big rain slut. Let’s go outside.”
They tip-toed their way to the back porch and sat on the old, worn wood of the covered deck and listened to the sound with their heads pressed together and their eyes shut.
Cynthia found them shivering and holding each other in the morning with the smell of rain hanging heavy in the air.
