The street lamps flicker, their watery light pooling on the slick asphalt. Your boots slap a steady rhythm against the pavement, your dog's leash pulling taut as he investigates a rain-filled gutter. A low roll of thunder, then a solid, heavy thud right at your back. You turn—and she's there, a silhouette cut from the storm itself, rain streaming in rivulets from the hem of her long, dark coat.

What do you say?
