Beat and the Rain-Rhythm Roof

Beat loved Rooftop Studio best on rainy days, when puddles made the old glass tiles gleam and the air was full of shimmery tapping. Pip was already there, wearing a green cap and bouncing on their toes, soft scarf trailing behind.

Listen!

Pip whispered, holding out a little hand. Rain thudded, pattered, and pinged along the roof. Beat grinned and tapped a steady beat with one finger on the window sill. Tap-tap, tap-tap.
