Amber leaned into Jacob's arms, her body still weak but her mind finally quiet. The night stretched around them, vast and dark, until a cool drop landed on her cheek. Then another. She looked up, and the sky opened.
Rain poured down in heavy sheets, soaking her hair, clinging to her skin. For a moment, she simply stared, blinking at the sudden change. Jacob chuckled, his voice low and warm.
"Looks like the universe isn't done with us yet," he said, tilting his head back to let the rain hit his face.
Amber let out a soft laugh, the sound surprising her after everything that had happened. "It's... kind of perfect, isn't it?"
Jacob raised an eyebrow, water dripping from his lashes. "Perfect? We're drenched."
Amber stepped out of his arms and spun slowly, her arms stretched wide as the rain washed over her. "Exactly. Drenched, messy, alive." She stopped and looked at him, a playful glint in her eyes. "Dance with me."
Jacob smirked. "Here? In the middle of a storm?"
"Why not?" she challenged, stepping closer. "You scared, Jacob?"
"Of you? Always." But his grin widened, and he took her hand, pulling her into a gentle sway.

***UNDER EDITING***
One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way.
I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon.
At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again.
Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨
So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street.
Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego?
Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀
But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel.
It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart.
I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate.
