Slice #9 of 31 March Challenge

The Rainy Day
The clouds hang dark and low.  The air is heavy.  The girl sits at the window and waits.  Wait...Wait...Wait...Wait...Wait, until finally she hears something.  Just a drop of water to pavement.  She sits bolt upright and jumps to her feet.  She pushes the door open and runs outside.  She greets the storm, smiling, spinning.  At first the water gently brushes her face but soon she is twirling in a downpour.  The wind sweeps back her hair.  It flows like a river of gold down her shoulders.  Thunder rumbles across the angry sky and lightning cracks.  The girl startles.  
I go to the door and call to her "Time to come in Maisie.
