Renew

Nessa waited until she was sure no one would notice she was gone, then slowly opened the door and went into the pouring rain.

When Nessa was younger, she wasn't allowed outside when it was raining because her father worried that she would get sick. But now there was no one in charge of her, so she went outside whenever it rained.

The rained cleaned her in a way nothing else could. It washed away Madame Governor and Boq's coldness to her, leaving only Nessa and a Boq who liked being around her.

Nessa tilted back her head and opened her mouth, allowing drops of the sweet, renewing rain inside her.

She stayed like that until she heard a voice behind her.

"Madame, what were you thinking, coming out here?" Boq exclaimed. "You're all wet."

Nessa opened her mouth, but closed it again, deciding it wasn't worth it to argue.

She would just have to wait until the next time it rained to renew herself again.
