On a rainy night three years ago, Jack dropped into a rainwear shop where Lorraine worked to buy a cheap mac. He only planned to wear it once since he was off to the Middle-East the day after tomorrow to work two years for a big oil company. Reluctant to leave the shop, Jack asked Lorraine if she would like to brave the elements and go to the pictures with him.
