After dinner, Sean and Cleo went their separate ways. Usually, Sean would offer to take a woman home so late at night, but he had spotted a familiar figure secretly waiting outside, so he decided to give the man an opportunity.
After he left, Cleo started walking towards the bus stop. As she checked her watch, the roar of thunder suddenly startled her. A storm had been brewing all night and it seemed as though it had decided to finally pour down at that moment.
A few drops of water hit Cleo's head and she immediately started running. Just as the rain started getting heavier, she sensed something cover her.
Cleo quickly glanced to the side in surprise.
It was Max. He was using his jacket to cover both of them from the rain.
Why was he there?
"Max, what are you doing here?" Cleo asked.
Max and Cleo quickly ran under the bus shelter and shook the water off their bodies.
"I saw that a storm was coming, so I waited for you," Max replied. "I was worried that you'd get wet."
