A Boy in the Rain

I sit down, and relax my shoulders. I'm going home. Not that it feels that way without... I look back to see if he's still there, but he's already walking to his car, almost imperceptible among the rain, that has now started violently assaulting the asphalt. He stops, unnoticed, immobile, a boy in the rain.

Morgan Prince has always been a bit difficult to understand. Cold, distant, and apathy incarnate. Under the surface though, lies a glowing beating heart, ready to love the world as it is. Years of repression, and abuse from a manipulative mother has all but made Morgan empty, a void. And along came Dean Jacobs. Lukewarm, empathetic, funny. Almost Morgan's exact opposite. And yet the right joke at the right time, and Morgan's heart glew a little brighter. Can one little star make the void a brighter place?
