A couple of seconds passed, every sound finally coming back to their senses: the heavy rain on the top of the car, the wiper blade's rhythmic sound, and Allen and Isabelle's heavy breathing.
"Are you OK?" Allen turned his body towards her, grabbing both sides of her face with his hands. He scrutinized every detail, searching for any kind of injury.
She nodded, searching on his face any sign of danger. "Are you?" Allen nodded too.
