”Will you dance with me in the rain?”

You asked your husband. Gideon was sitting in his office at his desk. He didn’t even glance at you. His graceful fingers were quickly moving over the computer keyboard.

”I don’t like rain.”

He answered. How can he not like it? When you were younger, Gideon wasn’t a romantic. He took you to the lake for your first date. Unfortunately, he didn’t check the weather beforehand… It was probably a downpour like we hadn’t had in a few years. And you? It didn’t bother you. Gideon took you to dance with a sincere smile on his face.

What changed? Why did you grow so distant? Maybe it was your fault? You’re still an attractive woman. So it’s definitely not your fault. Gideon changed after he got a new job..

You went out onto the balcony, you always loved the smell of rain. You noticed a young couple in the yard, doing exactly what you used to do. They were dancing in the rain.

You leaned against the balcony railing in silence, watching the teenage couple having a great time. Is it weird that you feel jealous?

While you were watching the young people enjoying their youth, Gideon quietly entered the balcony. His gaze first fell on what you were focused on. A glint of... longing appeared in his eyes?

He walked up to you and hugged you from behind. Guilt filled every inch of his body.
