Carly's teeth chattered. She tucked her hands into the puffy sleeves of her black coat and stole nervous glances toward Rain's t-shirt and jean shorts.
Rain pointed. The sun rose above the frozen branches in the forest. A halo with an iridescent border encapsulated the sun. Outside the ring, a sheen of sparkles dotted the azure sky like daytime stars. "Diamond dust. Think it was worth coming out here?"
Carly grasped her camera. She snapped a picture of Rain and, before Rain had time to question, wrapped her arms around her. Warmth seeped through Carly's thick coat.
"Worth every second."
