The Sound of Rain Covered Everything

The rain was falling so hard that it drowned out all the background sounds in the cafe. I sat in my old position, staring at the screen of my phone, my palms covered in cold sweat. The cappuccinos on the opposite side were getting colder, and the street corner was deserted. I edited a message repeatedly but never dared to press send. Until my phone vibrated, the person I had been waiting for all afternoon finally replied. He said: "Let's break up." It turns out that some conversations are destined to never happen. And the phrase "See you tomorrow" turned out to be a great lie.
