The shouts that seemed so close faded away into distant echoes as the trees nestled us away from view and shielded our forms from the onslaught of rain. I shivered, clothes soaked through, and he pulled me into his arms, affectionately kissing the top of my head. I sighed in contentment, feeling the thudding of his heart as we held each other in newfound freedom, guarded by the trees and rain.
