It was one of those unusual rainy noons. It wasn't raining hard, though, Rhett could barely feel the drops in his skin, but looking at the many ripples in the ponds, it was obvious it was raining. That and the smell, of course. Rhett always enjoyed that wet dirt smell. He had been waiting next to the koi fishes' pond for a five minutes now, but with this weather, Mia could take as long as she wanted, he was enjoying it and he knew that as soon as she arrived, the mood was going darken into a more serious tone.
His face lost all expression just as he thought about it. It was clear that he loved mysteries, but at the same time, he hated them. They entertained him, yes, but the longer something remained a mystery for him, the more he could feel empty and powerless and weak just for not knowing. But Rumor was special. It was personal. Rhett was determined to see this to the end, even if it meant allying himself with someone else, even if it meant waiting an hour with a stare into the horizon under the rain.
He just hoped Mia would be at least half as helpful as he figured she would be.
