Rain…

I never thought about the events that changed my life. But today, I was caught in the rain outside, and I suddenly remembered those events.

It was raining then, too, and I was standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus. Rain, rain, rain, and no one was out in the city. But looking down the road, I saw a girl in a red dress, very wet. Even though it was a summer rain, I thought she was shivering. She was walking quickly, looking for shelter from the rain. I called to her. She turned and smiled.

“Come here,” I said.

That’s how I met and got to know Lucy.

She was a 22-year-old university student. She was from Voronezh and lived in a dorm. That day, she was at the library, and as she was returning to the dorm, it started to rain.
