Rain joins Mark and his high school friends for their game night. This is a chapter that was in the first draft of Fall Like Rain. I edited it out because it felt like an unnecessary scene in the overall story, but I liked it enough to keep it. Meah mentions this part in one of the scenes in the final version of the book, in Chapter 12: "And didn't you go meet his high school friends last week and you told me they thought he was happier now that you guys were talking again?"

When Gita Joson sent a Best Day Ever email invitation to her old friend (and TOTGA) David Hermosa, she didn't expect much.

Content Warnings This story makes several references to the COVID-19 pandemic and tackles the grief of losing a pet. Heat Level: 3.
