déjà vu

from CarrollBlog:

Rain is good for romance. Walk through any city on a rainy day and you're bound to see this: couples close and happy under a shared umbrella, one's hand wrapped around the other's on the handle. Or getting gloriously drenched together, usually grinning and soaking wet, the hell with an umbrella. Or head to head at small tables under outdoor cafe awnings. Pretending they stopped here to keep out of the rain, but really using the excuse to sit close together and touch a lot. Others enter a store laughing, laughing at their wetness, delighted about everything. They don't want to buy anything; they're just using this dry place as an intermission. A happy older couple across the restaurant helping each other dry off. They're chatting animatedly for the first time in days, comparing notes about walking hand in hand through the storm to get here. They're both famished now. Something about walking in the rain. They'll eat like champions.

Days like these stay with you. A long time later you'll ask-- remember the crazy time we got caught in that storm? And their eyes will light up. Of course they remember. Guaranteed.
Rain is good for romance.
