August 03, Wednesday – Sky City
"August is supposed to be summer. I wonder why it rained," Lily said while watching the thick, black clouds swirling all over Hong Kong. The rain started around three in the morning. Three hours had passed and it seemed like the rain would not stop anytime soon.
The grey sky rumbled followed by a loud boom of thunder. Lily continued watching the large splatters of raindrops on the floor to ceiling window of their room. It was like an endless waterfall, cascading over the earth from the heavens.
"You hate the rain." It was Zhuo Jingren. He was holding two cups of coffee with a gentle smile on his face.
"Brings back old memories," Lily answered as she accepted the coffee from Zhuo Jingren. She looked at the swirling hues of brown inside the cup before she looked at Zhuo Jingren. As expected, he was already staring at her. "It was raining that night," she said, her gaze returning to the splatters of rain.
