THE RAINY DAY SHOW COMMENT SECTION
@Marissa1992:Oh my god. That was the most intense show I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad they’re both okay after that tornado.
@KayandBeauLoveYou:I was literally on the edge of my bed watching. I kept screaming at them to run faster. It was like something out of a movie.
@AmandaPlz:It was like Twister in real life.
@HaleyBaley:SUCH a good live stream, Quincy. I love when we go into the storm with you. It shows how powerful these systems are and why we should take them seriously. Happy you two are safe. Get some rest.
@AustenPowerz:You’re fucking joking. Tornadoes don’t just disappear. And you happen to catch it all on video? Without it destroying anything in its path? Please.
@PocketFullOfSunshine89:@AustenPowerzthey dissipate all the time. That’s quite literally how science works. I’d give a full explanation, but you wouldn’t be able to understand.
@ElBeeBaby:It’s been almost fourteen hours and Quincy hasn’t posted anything new. Wasn’t her show supposed to start at nine? Hope she’s really okay

The footage you emailed me last night of that tornado was unreal. I’ve watched it ten times. Can’t wait to edit it. I smell another Emmy heading your way, Sebastian.
Glad you liked it. Make sure you give Quincy Monroe credit when you get it uploaded. Her social media handle is @TheRainyDayShow. Wouldn’t have been possible without her.
Got it.
“You’re having a wild summer. Hurricanes. Rescuing people from floodwaters. The tornado you and Quincy went through last night.” Cooper checks his rearview mirror before merging lanes. “That’s serious shit, man.”
“I’ve experienced plenty of tornadoes.” I yawn and drop my head against the seat, achingly exhausted. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night when I got home. I heard Cooper making coffee at half past six and dragged myself out of his guest room, joining him at the kitchen table. It took a full cup of caffeine before I could open my eyes. “I’m sure I’ll be in plenty more.”
“I know you have, but have you been in one dangerous enough to fear for your life?”
Forget my life. I was more afraid of something happening toher.
Cooper met me at Quincy’s last night, reassuring her—and me—that a strong painkiller would help the swelling in her ankle. A quick diagnostic test showed it’s sprained, not broken, and he tucked her into bed with a glass of water and a pillow propped under her leg.
I watched him take care of her, standing awkwardly in the doorway until she mumbled something about haboobs and advection before drifting off to sleep.
Coop asked why I was grinning when we got back to his place, and I chalked it up to surviving the elements, not because Quincy remembered my favorite weather phenomenon. I tried to decompress in the shower, but I was still on edge after her injury. By the time I climbed into bed, my mind kept going back to the moment she hit the ground. The world closing in around us. Her telling me to go and the terror that gripped me when I wasn’t sure we were going to make it.
“No. That was a first. And hopefully a last,” I answer. “Thanks for driving me out here to get her car. Quincy could use the rest, and I’ll send Mia over to her place later to make sure she’s doing okay.”
“How’s the wedding planning going?” Cooper’s grip tightens on the steering wheel. The edge in his voice is a tone I haven’t heard from him before. “I know Mia’s been busy.”
“From what Mia has told me, it sounds like everything is fine. She wanted Nate to make her cake, but she’s going with someone else instead.”
“You’ve been busy too. Feels like you’re never home.”
“That’s how the Dunn siblings operate. Unless I have a full plate, I’m restless.”
“I’ll say. The docuseries is going well? Do you miss being on the news every night?”
“I’m having so much fun, man. I haven’t had a front row seat to weather events inyears, and getting close to the action again has been eye-opening. I’ve always known this, but the duality of weather never ceases to amaze me. There’s something so … profoundly beautiful in an unstoppable force that’s existed longer than mankind. That will continue to exist long after we’re gone. No human has found a solution to preventing natural disasters, and no human will. For as smart as we are, we’ll never outsmart Mother Nature.”
“Dude.” Cooper chuckles. “It’s way too early to be so introspective. And you sound so giddy about all of it.”
“Sorry. You know how I get when I talk about the love of my life.” I grin. “Are you headed to the station after this?”
“Yeah. I won’t be back until tomorrow night. There’s fried chicken in the fridge for dinner if you want it and a bowl of mashed potatoes on the second shelf.”
“Living with you is killing my physique. I’m going to get my ass handed to me when I head back to New York and start rowing again.”
