Tap. It was consistent and rhythmic—a sound she recognized. Her voice cracked with surprise. "Rain.” Vincent furrowed his brow as he spoke, “I hear it too.” The void shifted as rain began to fall—not on them but somewhere far away. The sound echoed softly and steadily, like water tapping on a glass. Her father’s whisper returned, swirling like smoke. “It falls forever. Just out of reach. You may hear it, but you can never touch it. That is despair, Camela. That is your life now.”

Its flowers were a pale, ghostly white, shaped in tiny pitchers that glowed faintly in the darkness. I reached out and touched one of the petals. It was cool and a little sticky, and released a small puff of glowing pollen that smelled unlike anything I’d experienced before. “Moonveil,” a voice whispered in my head. “It only blooms in the rain.” I jerked my hand back. The voice wasn’t mine. It was older, distant, like an echo from somewhere deep in my subconscious. “Find it before the rain stops if you want to save your son.” I woke with a gasp.

This one was smaller and wrapped in soft, white paper. Chloe walked out this time after dropping it. And I opened it. Wow… my eyes caught it. A pair of earrings. No, not just earrings—these were diamond earrings shaped like teardrops. A note fell out. I reached for it, picking it up. **You were so brave, princess. I’m happy that you are finally here, but I’m not happy that you’re in Rain’s department. It should have been me. Can't wait to see you tonight. —River.**

The bird was back. Perched outside of the attic window, it chirped a cheerful song, fluttering its wings and tapping its beak on the glass. Ella Sinders found herself distracted again. The bright blue feathers, the same shade as the sky behind the visitor, beckoned her to come outside, to feel the crisp spring air, feel the grass beneath her feet, gaze at the clouds as they rolled by, and forget all of her troubles.

They dashed through the rain, their footsteps splashing in the puddles, heading towards the shelter of Ethan's car parked nearby. Breathless and soaked, they reached the car, and Ethan quickly fumbled with the keys, unlocking the door. They hopped into the vehicle, seeking refuge from the relentless deluge. With a swift twist of the ignition, the engine roared to life, and Ethan accelerated out of the cinema center parking lot, navigating the dimly lit streets. As they drove through the rain-soaked night, Camila turned to Ethan and inquired about their destination. Straining to be heard over the sound of raindrops pelting against the car's roof, she asked, "Where are we going, Ethan?"

I opened the sliding door to my covered balcony and stepped out, breathing in the crisp, wet air from the rainstorm. I could watch the lovely droplets from here. They struck the leaves and petals of the flowers in the garden below. Each "plunk" was like a musical note, my own personal classical orchestra of raindrops playing a symphony just for me. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound, like a piece by Beethovan, bringing my garden to life. Water droplets made the flower petals glitter like they were gilded with diamonds. Roses, lilies, peonies, and chrysanthemums of purple, white, red, orange, and pink, all looked like jeweled pendants hanging from a woman's neck.

The wind made the petals fall from the tree making it seem like it was snowing. Rain giggled bouncing around to catch as much as petals he can in his palm. Laughing, Evelyn joined him and caught the flower petals as much as she can. The boy tiptoed and sneakily dumped the petals he caught on Evelyn's head who gasped in surprise. Evelyn wanted revenge. She chased Rain with her handful of petals to dump them on the boy's head. Both of the omegas were so lost in playing the petals that they didn't see the people watching them.

6:02 AM – Penthouse Bedroom The rain wasn't heavy, but it was continuous. It whispered across the glass like a warning—soft, rhythmic, ceaseless. Elira blinked open in the pale blue dimness. The curtains were half drawn, the windows painted with rain trails. She reached across the bed. Caelan's side was still warm. She slowly sat up, heart clenching. There was something different about the silence this time that didn't soothe. It warned.

I scream— But I'm choking. Petals spill into my mouth. Soft, curling, fragrant silk that tastes of summer rain and broken promises. Hundreds of them flood my throat, silencing me with their cloying sweetness. I gag, fingers clawing at my lips, but they keep coming—rose petals like whispered secrets I never got to keep, like words of love that died unspoken. The ground splits beneath me with a sound like breaking bones.
