"The Storm"

In this story I see a worried mother for her husband and children not know where they are and if they are safe or not. She busy in her doing her own thing doesn't realize that there is a storm but at the last minute runs around trying to get everything together and in that moment see someone from her past Alcee. I believe these two had a past that they had both not forgotten about but just gotten sweeped under the rug. "Do you remember-in Assumption, Claixta? he asked in a low voice broken by passion. Oh! She remembered; for in Assumption he had kissed her and kissed and kissed her; until his sense would well nigh fail, and to save her he would resort to a desperate flight." Kate Chopin pg. 257. This part of the story is where they both remember once past and the feelings and emotions they both shared for each other but for some reason they couldn't have it? Both being worried about the storm and family got caught up with the familiar feel between each other and in a heat of passion made love. Although both knowing it was wrong couldn't help themselves and it meant more to both of them but no one was to ever know but them. A secret that would haunt them both. In my own beliefs this would be wrong and these two characters both know it but couldn't help themselves and the love that they once shared between them.
