    Summary

    There are two distinct sides to Kate, almost like she’s two different people, that much becomes abundantly clear as Tyler gets to know her. It’s not that he minds; he just has to figure out which one he’s dealing with. But he’s spent most of his adult life learning to read weather patterns, and he’s determined to learn to read her just as well.

    Summary

    Kate had survived two EF5s though both left their scars on her body and mind. Post El Reno, she had some recovering to do but she wouldn’t have to do it alone. Tyler would stay by her side as long as she wanted him.

    The movie ended far too quickly – our characters need some time to recover. This explores what this could have looked like.

    Summary

    Her fingers don’t want to let go. If she asked her psychiatrist about it, he’d tell her it’s a trauma response. Something about the limbic system. Her amygdala. Fawning. Muscle memory from that first EF5.

    “I won’t let you go anywhere. I have you Kate. I need you to trust me. I have you now. I promise. Once you let go of the pipe, grab onto my wrist. Okay?”

    Summary

    “The worse the weather, the happier the girl.”

    Or maybe it’s the other way around.

    Kate’s ability to influence storms is her darkest secret, and Tyler might be about to figure it out.

    Summary

    Kate spends one more night with Tyler before flying back to New York.

     

    From the first day she met him, it had been clear to Kate that there was more to Tyler the tornado wrangler than met the eye, but that day she’d been too stubborn, too set in her mindset of us-versus-them to take a closer look.

    She takes the time now though, trains her expert gaze on him like he’s a storm gathering in the atmosphere, threatening to morph into a gale force wind strong enough to knock her on her ass. Maybe he already has.

    He watches the bumps in the winding country highway as she studies him, the strain of Shania’s guitar chords scratching through the speakers as he capably guides the truck around another pothole.

    Eyes still on the road, he quirks his lips, breaking the comfortable silence between them. “What are you staring at, Sapulpa?”

    The corner of her mouth twitches, her eyes still glued to him. “You.”
