Wow, what a hot storm. It was really interesting reading such an essay from a woman (Kate) who looks so decent and modest. From what I could gather, the woman, Calixta was french and her partial lover M'sieur Alcée was french too.
Her husband and child Bibi, were passing a storm in a grocery store while she was at her house. She sees a neighbor, Alcée, and invites him to come in so he doesn't get wet, sick or killed. And while she is at the window all these emotions of anxiety for her husband and child and the nervousness that she feels for the storm make her vulnerable at the tempting sight of her past lover Alcéee. He is tempted too and they remember a long kiss that they shared a long time ago when neither of them were married, and I think they kissed. When the storm was over he left, they shared a smile and her husband and child enter the house. They taught she was going to be mad because they were really dirty but she was so happy for that moment of passion that she didn't even care.
The story is really short but it tells you directly what it wants to tell. I liked it because it was different, and sometimes a Storm is a situation of confusion but when it passes you see everything clearly and you learn more.
