They came here on hot summer days. It was their special place. Fast friends since childhood and inseparable well into young adulthood.
Neither was interested in dating. “What do I need a boyfriend for when I have you?” she said once before she ran into the water, laughing. He chased after her and they splashed about, making a raucous.
That afternoon, when they were lying in the sun after a swim, she suddenly leaned down and kissed him on the lips. He was startled at first but, then the sweetness of her kiss, enticed his desire for more.

Aahhhh … youth and love. On the one hand, I wish they hadn’t kissed. Who knows if
the dynamics would have changed their relationship in a negative way. Then, the romantic
in me loves the idea of them finally connecting with their friendship changing into roamantic love.
Love and all its complications … lol
Nicely written, Adele. Stay Safe 😷 Isadora 😎
