Chapter 1: One Foot in Front of the Other

the first time he saw the girl, he was but an outsider looking in.

he had been walking past a row of apartments on a street that was strangely empty for a saturday afternoon. he learned the reason for this odd phenomenon only moments later, when the heavens opened and cried thick, blinding tears. he crossed the street in search of shelter and stepped under the awning of the nearest shopfront, reaching a hand to brush back the waterlogged hair that had fallen into his eyes. he leaned back against the glass window of the building, slumping slightly as his eyes closed and his thoughts raced.

he wondered what his lover would have thought of the rain. he'd never had much of a problem with it, with no opinion one way or another but mika- mika he could see running out into the downpour, opening her arms and face to the sky and spinning gleefully like a child. he pictured her jumping into puddles without a care in the world, and shaking his head at her antics and scolding her for getting her shoes all dirty.
