Chapter Twelve

Soft droplets of rain settled on her brows as Alex ran beside Sam along the quiet streets. Her newly transformed silk pumps that complemented the ball gown she had worn earlier were drenched, and the wet male shirt she got from the washing line, only exacerbated the chilly night air. She tightened her grip around the handle of the small leather suitcase. The rain made it slippery. Soft streetlights illuminated the vapors expelled from their lungs as they kept running.

When the rain came down harder, and it became increasingly more difficult not to slip on the smooth cobbled roads, they ducked under the shelter of a nearby bus stop. At that moment, Alex had never felt more lost or helpless, and she sensed Sam, who was usually quick to come up with solutions, was feeling the same. They were cold, wet, and tired as they huddled together on the narrow bench.

"What are we going to do, Sam? The sun will be up soon."

"Shh, let's not worry about that right now. Let's rest and dry up for a few minutes. I doubt anyone will come looking for us here. Hopefully, the rain will stop soon."
