I fell to my knees in the mud. The cold rain washed the soot from my face. Stephen let go of Elias. Elias stayed facedown in the dirt crying. He was not crying for his empire. He was crying because he realized he was truly completely alone. The sky just opened up. It was like the whole valley was screaming. It was so hot and dry for long. Then the rain came. The first drops were big and heavy like rocks hitting the ground. Then the sky just let go. The rain poured down. This was the Rain of Mercy like something out of a movie. The sound of the rain hitting the lodge was like a million little drums beating all at once.

Tired of standing, I get down to a squatting position, resting my water dripping head on my knee. I should have just stayed back, what was I thinking? Was I even thinking?

She remembered the words that her father said, “This rain will wash away all that has happened,” She looked up at the sky and smiled as she now completely understood what her father was trying to say then, “This rain will finally wash away all that happened,” S

It took a small eternity for my heart to stop pounding. We were in the air, sitting opposite each other, laughing, drinking champagne, and talking about the most trivial things. I thought that I would never calm down after Aiden's confession, but I did. I didn't know when or how, but he started talking about the weather. He told me that he always loved staring at the rain and that he used to count raindrops falling on the window. He said that it calmed him down. It was sunny, just a few innocent clouds as we crossed the sky, but his story made my eyes shift to the window and smile. I imagined Aiden as a child, standing by the window and counting raindrops. Somehow, that vision took away all

I also got up to take him outside. When Rum left, I stayed outside first. I looked up at the sky. The sky is dark. I don't see a single star, it looks like it's raining. I went out the gate to take a walk outside. This is what I want, this is what I always look forward to, the rain. When it rains, I shed my tears, which I often hold back.

Aiden froze, the words hitting him harder than any wound could. And between them, the rain kept falling—cold, relentless, unforgiving. To Be Continued…

But it made me feel a little warm inside—a quiet something I wasn’t sure what to call. Kael looked up at me, tilting his head. “Nanny?” It was the first thing he’d said all morning. “Yes, Kael?” He pointed to the sky. “Rain’s stopping.” I smiled, nodding softly. “Yes, it is.” And then I realized—sometimes, things change not with a big storm but in small, quiet moments, when the rain stops.
