He walks out the front door and sees her, looking up at the sky and standing in the middle the road, with the rain pouring down over her.
Her wet hair hugs her body like a long lost friend, the ice-cold crystal droplets clinging to her frosty skin and dampening her clothes, as she stares above. Its hard for him to tell why she ran out and it is even more difficult to discern between her tears and the rain on her face.
"Melinda what are you doing?" He yells out to her as lightning lights up the sky.
"Doesn't it just feel so calming... as if it will just wash your worries right away?" She laughs, extending her arms out.
"Melinda let's go inside before you catch a cold." He says walking out toward her. "We don't have the medicine to bring you …show more content…

"I'm glad you're not a complete idiot." She mutters and runs up the stairs.
"Melinda..." He says and then rubs his temples in small circles. "Why are you so stubborn?"
"She's like her mother." Her father says laughing while walking into the room.
"What?" Jim asks walking toward
