Well, wasn’t this just great?

It was supposed to be one of those perfect days—the kind the city always seemed to offer.

The sun high in the sky, clouds drifting lazily by, and a cool breeze cutting through the warmth just enough to keep things comfortable. Picture-perfect.

So how, exactly, did it come to this?

Rain—relentless rain—had turned what should have been a pleasant outing into a soaking mess.

You and Blue cop now stood huddled under a cluster of trees, your forms awkwardly close together, shoulders practically brushing as you sought shelter from the downpour.

Droplets of water rolled off both of your surfaces, some splattering to the ground, others tracing slow paths down armor and edges. The silence was punctuated only by the drumming of rain on leaves above, and still, neither of you moved.

You both knew you could head back to the facility.

Technically.

But with the rain coming down like this, the puddles already pooling across the roads, and the sheer nuisance it would be to slog through it all, the option felt less than appealing.

So, for now, the choice was yours.

Stay, or brave the storm?
