Rain Dance - Part 2
Startled by the soft touch on her shoulder, Imelda turned.
To her surprise, it was one of her former schoolmates, Eddy.
"Fancy meeting you here," Eddy said in his hoarse voice from countless years of smoking. Startled, it took Imelda a few seconds to recompose and respond.

"Hey, how's it going Eddy," Imelda replied.
