She opened her mouth to say something, but the boom of thunder roared over her. Placing my hand on her side, I leaned closer to her ear. “Don’t be afraid. We’ll reach the estate before the storm reaches us.”

Water droplets slid down her cheeks, slicking her long red hair to the sides of her face. She swayed side to side, opening her mouth to drink the raindrops.
Thunder and lightning met in the sky above us, igniting the storm and drumming a beat to match the tempo of my heart. It was in that loud, chaotic moment, I knew exactly why I had decided to save this precious human.
