The raindrops fell onto the windowsill as Pippin stared blankly into the wet.

His father had told him to stay away from the cold window with the small droplets splashing onto his face, in case he got sick, but Pippin paid no mind to it.

He gazed mournfully up and down the street through the misty grey air, hoping he would hear the familiar voice calling, hurrying legs splashing through puddles but no- just raindrops.

He remembered the way Merry had looked everywhere but at him when he had said the previous day that he wouldn't come today, and also how he had hurried away not in the direction of his house, but to Her.

Raindrops plinking on the windowsill, each one slowly eroding away his will to stop himself from sobbing aloud.

Suddenly in the fields he saw Him.

He was with Her, running through the grass and collapsing on top of Her, kissing Her and running his hands all over her rain-soaked dress.

Teardrops falling on the windowsill.
