Chapter 106

He wanted to get to his sisters before the rain. He had promised to stop by his friends for a night of poker after thanksgiving, since he was just ten minutes from his sisters. He didn’t bother to pack an extra pair of cloths, since he always had a extra pair at hers. He had vacuumed the inside of his car and decided the rain would take care of the outside. He was more familiar with the rain and had been so used to it walking in the streets of London, he always carried a raincoat and an umbrella with him and today he made sure he had it in his car.

It was not bad, it was cold and when the rain droplets touched his face they felt cold. He got into his car and was off to his sisters. If it doesn’t get worse he would be there on time, maybe everyone would be there before him, and he was not sure how many guests will be there today. He knew that it was some potluck kind of dinner, and in her house it was not a traditional American Thanksgiving, since his and her family is a mixture of people from all over the place. His brother in law’s mother is Japanese and father American, she half British and half Indian, somehow in all these mix he felt his niece picked up all the best features.

He was making good distance since it was not too bad and suddenly everything changed when he was getting closer to the highway and the visibility was close to none. He switched on his wipers to full speed and slowed down quiet a bit even though he had to merge and it was raining cats and dogs. He changed the settings inside to prevent fogging and luckily there wasn’t much traffic out there; Just A couple of cars here and there.
