Before the two of them knew it, the rain started to pour down heavily from the skies. It quickly extinguished the fire that came from Sophie's torch. That made the young man and woman look at each other worriedly.
"We can't get stuck here during a storm!" Nicholas dropped the torch and grabbed for Sophie's hand. "Let's go!"
Sophie was surprised but did not turn away from him and only nodded wordlessly. She almost assumed that the same storm that brought him to her home was once again coming over to send them back there.
Even though they were to waste their time by returning here tomorrow or the next day, it was okay because Sophie and Nicholas could not search for them during a storm or even just heavy rainfall.
Both of them traveled as fast as they could, but they were still slow compared to the rain that fell on them without any question or hesitation. It was easy to see that the wet ground and mud weren't also doing the two of them any favors.
