After Rain Falls (River of Rain, #2)

by C.E. Ricci

Sometimes the very thing you need to stay afloat is the same reason you’re drowning.

“This is gonna come out sounding stupid and fucking corny, but my world begins and ends with you. I see you, the real you. The you kept hidden from everyone else. I know who you are, baby. And despite the shit we went through and all the shit we still have to overcome, I’m undeniably in love with you.”

“How can we know what forever is supposed to look like when we’ve barely lived?”

“When the person you’re meant to be with is tossed in your path, you grab them and hold on for dear life.

There’s a cleansing that comes after rain falls. This sense of peace that blankets your surroundings. That brings more possibilities and gives way to new beginnings. In a way, it’s hope.
