His fingers traced her soft, smiling lips. Drops of rain raced each other down the windshield. The two locked eyes, smiling. 

His navy eyes brightened suddenly. He threw open the car door, raced around to the other side, and, excitedly, pulled the hands of the girl, who raised her eyebrows but still seemed to be smiling. She followed him into the dim headlights where he stopped. They stood in the darkness of the night as cool rain fell around them. 

The boy pulled out his phone, for just a moment, and soft music began to flow from the open doors of the car. 

“Dandelions by Ruth B,” the girl whispered. “How’d you know I love that song?” The boy just grinned back and turned the music up. 

He wrapped his arms around her hips, swaying both of them to the sound of the music. 

Nothing else mattered in the world. Not even the car’s leather seats, now drenched in pools of water. Two people… now one.
