I used to hate rainy days. I couldn't go jogging without coming back completely soaked and catching a cold, the bars were way emptier than usual, nothing seemed to go right.
Staying indoors was also unpleasant. I would quickly grow impatient and, I admit, lonely. I'd end up drinking alone and staying in bed all day, which made me feel worthless.
Well, it's not that much different now: I still spend all day in bed when it rains. But I don't drink anymore, except for an occasional glass of wine, and I'm never alone when I do that.
I'm also not lonely, either. And lying down doens't makeme feel impatient or worthless; it makes me feel warm, cozy and loved.

I, Allison Cameron, have a date with a woman, Tonight, when my shift ends, I'm going out for dinner and drinks with Remy Hadley.
Yes, my taller, leaner, prettier, bisexual replacement. Although I'm not sure I should be stressing 'bisexual'. After all, I'm going on a date with a woman.
I have managed to spend all my teenage years, all my college years, without succumbing to that kind of 'experiment', even though I wanted to.
Now, as I'm nearing my thirties, I suddenly fins myself scheduling a date with a woman.
I should be anxious, nervous, terrified, with butterflies flying all around my stomach. But I'm not.
I'm walking on sunshine.

She takes me out to the yard right after the first heavy snowfall of the winter. It's hard to push my wheelchair on the snow-covered ground, but she uses all her strength and manages to get me a few feet away from the house.
She grabs a little of the white substance and drops it gently onto my mittened awaiting palms, helping me to mold it into a ball. Then she runs, makes a ball of her own and throws at me.
It falls far from the target, and I wonder if she's done it on purpose, so i won't feel bad when mine doesn't even reach her. I have no strength left in my arms, except for when they jerk on their own volition. Still, I throw my ball, and watch it fall not very far from my feet.
Seeing my uneasiness, she changes the game, and we're now building a snowman. She lets me help her, even though I ruin it. Then she sits on my lap and admires our work, as she traces her fingers up and down my arms.
She turns around and kissed me. And, for a few seconds, I forget this might be the last snowfall I see.

I'm at a bar, having come straight from my lawyer's office. I've just signed the papers that officialize my divorce. I'm leaving Princeton in the morning, and don't ever expect to come back. I think I deserve a few drinks.
So I go and order one after the other. There's this brunette girl who send me a few now and then as well. She looks oddly familiar, but I'm drunk and I'm not thinking straight and I can't remember where the hell I know her from.
She walks up to me, and I know I should say something, but I can't find the words. And I know I shouldn't, and I feel some part of my brain screaming for me to stop, but the alcohol is clouding my judgment, and my body doesn't want to stop.
So I lean forward and kiss her.

This girl's a complete mess. She thinks no one sees her, but I know she arrives here drunk every morning, and rushes to the clinic to get IV fluids.
It was also me who was here to receive her party girl of the night when she had a seizure. It'll probably be me who'll receive her when she suffers an accident. Any kind of accident. Because, self-destructing like that, she certainly will.
She destructs herself and everyone around her. She doesn't even let people get too close to her, because she knows she'll bring them down.
This girl's a hurricane. And she's everything I'd like to be, if I wasn't too busy being the good girl to deal with my own pain that way.

Being with her is like being born again. It's like the flowers that appear after the snow has melted, after being buried beneath the hardness of winter for so long.
Being with her is like having life in me once again, when I didn't even remember how being alive felt anymore. It's like everything inside of me has suddenly decided to awaken and jump and sing in joy. It's like the birds that leave their nests for the first time in their lives and sigh contently under the warmth of the sun.
And I don't care that it's still dark and cold outside; in my heart, spring has already started.

Her clothes fall to the floor one piece at a time, as she slowly undresses before me. I was afraid she'd feel awkward, ashamed, because it's the very first time she lets me see her clotheless.
But she doesn't. She does it naturally, with the same grace with which a tree lets its leaves fall down when autumn comes. And, just like a tree, she might be extremely beautiful all dressed up, but there's something incredibly exquisite about her naked body.
It makes me want to kiss every inch of her, feel her skin against mine, smell her hair and hear her moan under my touch. After all, clothes aren't all that falls for her.
