Nice reference to thirsty hearts. I do like the smell of petrichor although I don’t really know how to use the word.

the smell of rain will come to me when the wind carries it from a place raining before it reached me, now I know what it is called, this was beautiful Renna, that smell does bring a lot of comfort.
