“Six big drops fell, then somewhere way above us a dam burst. The band, protected by the cover of the trailer-stage, kept playing, but most of the dancers fled like lambs to the remaining marquees. Nathaniel stopped dancing and held his palms to the sky. He wore a perfect smile-frown and I knew how he was feeling. I’d seen enough empty dams to know that rain is always welcome, even on our night of nights. Give me a flood over a drought any day. I was hot and sweaty and the big fat drops cut thro...ugh my dress like I’d just stepped into the shower with my clothes on. For a split second I really was concerned my new dress and shoes would be ruined by the downpour but Nathaniel took my hands and we stomped and spun and splashed like a couple of mad little kids. If I was a control freak before, I was a picture of total abandon now. There were only a few damp stragglers left to mash the last of the dust into mud on the dancing arena. We pranced around and when the rain got even harder and the dirty puddles turned to little rivers, we started kicking and splashing it at each other.MoreLess
