Rita vehemently argued one night that
rain had no color. “Water has no color,”
she added.
Samuel wanted to answer with “blue”
first. Then “green.” But Rita’s dark eyes had gone glossy with
conviction. The last time her eyes did
that and he pushed back, she stopped speaking to Samuel for three days.
Samuel simply nodded when she ended
the episode by stating authoritatively: “It’s a process, rain. You can’t give color to a process.”
Blue streak, he thought.
Green with envy.
With a little luck, the rain would
turn into white snow.
