Today's "First Lines" are from:
How in the world had rain earned such a romantic rep?
Kate Walker tipped the collar of her jacket and burrowed her chin against the chilly afternoon's heavy breathing. Chicago's usual sticky late-August warmth had gone into hiding--saggy clouds and a veil of gray creating the perfect backdrop for the swoon-worthy embrace playing out in front of her.
The dashing hero holding tight to his girl in the middle of the park, swinging her in a circle as she laughed with abandon. Oblivious to the rainfall, the both of them. And then...the most magic moment of all.
The kiss.
