Fat raindrops belly flop into our flippers, drenching socks and curling toes. Fat raindrops spit on my face, washing away powdered makeup and exposing cold purple blemish scars and my white winter skin.

Eventually, we stand at the train station, hiding from the rain, huddled in the warmth of our laughter.
