“Rainy days mean cold lonely nights and I believe
that I could remedy yours if you let me.” – Unknown
It’s cold and rainy outside, a somewhat depressing greeting after a long day at the office. The wind and brisk rain cuts through my clothing as I get out of the car in my driveway. The chill settles in my bones quickly, forcing me to rush to the front door of my countryside home. I slam the key into the lock, twist and I’m in just as my spirit sinks a little bit further from the biting chill.
As I enter, the house is overcast and dreary from the lack of light. The silence of the house is almost deafening. No one else here, no children playing or giggling. Just a lonely home on a gloomy day with nothing but the echoes of the sounds I make to welcome me home. I hang my dripping wet jacket on the hook by the door and kick off my soaked shoes. Off to the kitchen I go, not even bothering to remove any of the damp clothing.
