Word count: 100
Gregory stood at the windows, watching the storm rage across the beach. Strong wind and lightning set the backdrop for torrential rain. But it was the thunder that got to him.

He sighed, his empty arms aching as he wondered if it was raining on the cruise. If she still needed someone to hold her until she fell asleep.
