They continued playing cards and while they did rain started to spatter on the roof then after a while turned into a solid down pour.

Alicia went to the door and looked out, “It’ll be wet trip if this keeps up.”

“Well we can always leave a bit later, it would be nice to be reasonably dry when we get to your boat.”

“True.” Alicia said, “And if a storm comes up we’ll just wait it out, we don’t have to leave.”

“Well to tell you the truth I think is some idea blending from both my father’s and my mother’s heritages. Actually you can throw just about anything together.”

Darkness descended early due to the low clouds and they decided to turn in early. Both were a little tired, Bob mostly from the exercise and both from the afternoon of card playing and the gloom of early night fall.

“How’s the weather out there?” He asked.

“Well the rain has stopped and there is a light mist, but I have a feeling it will clear off.”

A brief flicker of disappointment crossed Bob’s but he said, “Oh good, I guess we’ll get away this morning then.”
