CHAPTER

FOURTEEN

Palmer

“Are you sure you don’t have a housekeeper?” I ask Brooks. I just finished cleaning his bathroom, and it wasn’t even really that dirty.

“No. We all had chores growing up, and most of them revolved around cleaning. It’s not hard to pick up after myself.”

“Are you an alien?” I tease.

He laughs. “No. I’m not an alien.” He finishes wrapping up the cord on the vacuum. “I’m going to put this away.”

I follow along behind him, taking the small basket of dirty towels from the bathroom to the laundry room. I quickly start the washer and shut the laundry room door. It’s still raining outside, but not as hard. Switching on the porch light, I stare out into his backyard. The back porch houses a grill and a set of patio furniture. Just off the porch, it looks like a fire pit and homemade benches surrounding it.

“Whatcha doing?” he asks, coming to stand behind me, wrapping me in his arms.

“Watching it rain.”

“It’s been a shitty day for weather.”

“It sucks being stuck inside all day.” I look over my shoulder at him, and he kisses my nose. “At least both of our houses are clean.”

“There’s that,” he agrees. “But who says that we have to stay inside?”

“Did you not see the buckets of water falling from the sky?”

“I saw it.” He kisses my neck. Reaching around me, he pulls open the sliding glass door and takes a step forward.

“What are you doing?” I ask.

“We’re going outside to play in the rain.”

“What?” I sputter with laughter while allowing him to guide us out on the back porch. The rain isn’t coming down as hard as it was earlier, but there is still a steady fall from the sky.

He closes the door and takes me by the hand, twirling me around. He pulls me into his chest and dips me dramatically. My head is tilted back, and the rain pelts against my flushed skin.

“When I said I needed a shower, this isn’t what I meant,” I tease when he lifts me back to a standing position.

“I have to keep you on your toes.” He winks, twirling me again.

“Do you always dance in the rain, Kincaid?” I ask when I’m once again pulled back into his arms.

“No. This is my first time.” He bends and kisses me softly. “My parents still to this day dance around the kitchen and even in the rain. I asked Dad once why he always danced with her. He said, ‘Son, you always dance with her, even if it’s in the rain, and you do it like no one is watching.’”

“Ah, the musings of Raymond Kincaid,” I reply.

“He has a lot of them. I asked him ‘why though?’ I didn’t understand why all the dancing.”

“What did he tell you?”

“He said, ‘boys,’ because my brothers were all there too. ‘When you find someone you want to dance with, you’ll understand.’” He presses his lips to my forehead as we sway to the sound of the rain falling against the deck.

My heart is beating so hard you’d think Thumper was taking up residence in my chest.
