Passage:

Lydia had always loved the sound of the rain, the soft pattering on the windowsill, the way it made everything feel slower, more deliberate. She would curl up with a book in her favorite chair, her dog, Murphy, lying lazily at her feet. Today was no different. The rain had started in the morning, and now, as afternoon approached, the sky remained a dull gray. Despite the gloom, Lydia felt a quiet contentment, the kind that comes with having no pressing matters to attend to, no deadlines looming, just the peaceful solitude of a rainy day. Murphy stirred, his ears twitching as Lydia turned another page, lost in the world of her novel.
