Vocabulary
rain (in context)
Could you please help me with my silly problem?
Steve is a weather guy. He talk about Ben with Angela. She wants to know if he will be fine. Some (long) time ago he told her that it would rain. She didn’t believe him, but we don’t know if it really rained.
He tells her how she should deal with Ben: “The best thing to do is keep feeding him. Food is nature's Vicodin. That's good, too, by the way, if you have it.”.
Then he adds: “You should finally be getting some rain up that way, you know?”. Her answer is: “Mm, I'm not too sure about that”.
Is there anything between the lines with that rain? Some hidden meaning? Can it be paraphrased like that?
Steve: It will be raining in your town.
Angela: I’m not sure.
Colloquial English is so difficult…
