They went to the diner down the street and sat in a booth by the window. Skye sighed as it began to rain. She watched all of the ditches and crevices in the parking lot fill with water.
"You okay?" Ward asked and reached across the table and held her hand.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Skye replied. "It's breathtaking, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's so magnificent," he agreed.
"After this I wanna go swimming again, considering I never really got a chance to before," Skye said and grasped his hand.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Their food came and Skye ate without ever taking her eyes off of the rain pouring down out of the sky.
A tornado siren went off and Skye wondered why there was a tornado siren going off. All it was was a little thunderstorm.
They were ordered to go into the back room and take shelter. Skye crouched next to Ward and held his hand. She was scared out of her mind, but she didn't want to let that show. She had to be brave, for all the little kids hunkered down in the shelter with them.
