The sky had turned into a dark, angry grey, mirroring the absolute ruin of my heart. A sudden, blinding downpour began to pelt my face, soaking the expensive white satin of my gown within seconds. I walked aimlessly down the wet pavement, my eyes blinded by a toxic mix of heavy rain and burning tears. I didn't hear the distant roar of a powerful engine accelerating through the storm.

Relentless rain. The kind that transformed streets into rivers of reflected light.
