Rather than dramatize a ho-hum event, I've put it to poem. However, it is still quite dramatic. Take it as you will. :)

A quiet stillness fills her heart
As through the rain they drive,
The world around her swirling
Ever vibrant and alive

The words lay frozen in her soul,
Though seeking for release
Wishing for the open air
So all may be at peace.

The time’s not come and so must she,
With tight and baited breath
Move along and look not back,
And put all hope to death.

A journey out under the drops
That cool and ease her fears,
While she with ever fix-ed gaze,
Finds solace in her tears

A bag of groceries in each hand
She strolls without a word,
Not trusting speech or counsel
Now that all the lines are blurred

Between all that of which she knows -
All logic and all sense,
And all of that which she deserves -
No chance of recompense

A parting word, then out again
Into the dreary eve,
Not homeward bound, but moving on
Needing solace and reprieve

The mud and rain soak through her shoes
And yet, she’s not distraught
For though she freezes more and more
She’s lost within her thoughts

The weather all around reflects
The conflict in her soul
She wrestles with the elements
To clearly see her goal

Alas the rain proves far too thick
The wind too great to fight
So she must now with calm resolve
Forget about her plight

And try to find that peace of mind
That she longs ever for
While building up the fallen walls
And locking up the door

So as she enters home at last,
Soaked through, though safe and sound
Her heart is finally closed again
Quite hidden and quite bound

A shower quickly warms her bones,
And make-up hides her grief
While always does the Mighty Lord
Alone, bring her relief.

And sleep, which buries sorrow so
Creeps soft into her mind

The doors are locked, the walls quite strong
And now comes He to slip along
And fill her dreams with endless song
Her will to Him confined
