But now, Calvin rested peacefully in the cemetery.
Alexis removed a white flower from her blouse, placing it before the tombstone. She tenderly touched the photo of Calvin, his youthful face staring back at her. In a hoarse voice, she murmured, Its been too long
since | last visited.
Silence followed her words, save for the faint breaths behind her.
Though she knew it was Leonel, she refused to turn. Instead, she stood, mourning Calvins loss.
And then, under the rain, they faced each other.
One was sheltered by an umbrella, the other was drenched.

His mouth moved but no words came. ALL he heard was the rain.

As Alexis walked past, raindrops splattered from the umbrella onto Leonels face, his heart skipping a beat.
Ina sudden burst of clarity, Leonel seized her hand.
No way, Alexis! Im not divorcing you! Alexis halted, eyeing the bruises on her wrist, a painful reminder of last nights ordeal with Leonel.
It seemed hed conveniently forgotten.
