The sun is shining as always and not a single sign it will rain in this early evening. Mavis stands near the front door of the hotel Transylvania when Johnny interrupts her flood of thoughts with two ice-creams in his hands.
“Lost in thoughts? I brought some ice-cream to cool you down.” Johnny says, handing her one ice-cream, already licking his own.
Mavis looks at him closely, her eyes locks on his as if he might snatch hers at any second.
Just as she takes a small bite of it, the summer rain begins to fall . It’s the very first rain of this summer and it feels really warm, gentle—like the feeling between them.
“No way! it’s raining!” she exhales, stepping into the open yard, her face already turns up to the sky. Her ice-cream melts in her hand, yet she keeps twirling, arms wide and open like a kid seeing the rain for the first time.
Johnny just stares at her, scooping up the last bite of his ice-cream.
“Come on Johnny! Don’t just stand there. The rain is perfect. Let’s not waste it," she grabs his hand and pulls him towards her, into the first summer shower. Their hands still feel warm as they hold each other’s fingers.
A minute later, it turns into a downpour and they just let the rain soak their clothes. “You can feel the difference, can’t you?” she asks, grinning slightly.
“This is the best kind of rain! and you know what? I’ve been waiting for this since the summer began” she murmurs, wrapping her hands around his neck. Her smile is clear as the summer rain washes the earth itself.
The Transylvania forest sounds fade into a soft, sweet, earthy smell as they're dancing in the rain for hours.
