“She said she wanted to be a raindrop and today it finally broke us. She’d found her own to fall with, her own to fall for. Today, she was a raindrop.”
“She tells me she wants to be a raindrop; she doesn’t mind falling, as long as she is not alone. - When Five Fell”
“A thousand prickling tender touches lit upon her, as if she was caught in a rainstorm and the raindrops were love.”
“Her expression falls slightly as she senses that my walls are up and she's not nearly strong enough to climb over. Not even today when she is leukaemia's version of Superwoman.”
“She slid her boot soles onto the surface and nearly laughed at her own absurdity - to be careful not to slip even as she prayed to fall through.”
“I knew then what harmony meant: what belonging was. Just like a raindrop joining in the fun at the big river. I was the little raindrop, and she was the river.”
