He came straight from morning service – couldn’t risk going home to change. When Melissa arrived he asked, “how long do you think it will take for them to figure it out?” “Hopefully hours, she quickly replied.”
This day was unusually cool for late August, yet they sat and watched it depart. This plan was weeks in the making, ever since they realized that the summer doesn’t last forever.
Tomorrow morning Melissa and her family will go home. So today, Ryan and Melissa will ride their bikes to the edge of the grove where a small path leads to a creek. There, season’s don’t change.

Touching story! It makes me wonder if they plan to commit suicide. Hopefully, not. Great story, LaRonda!

I wanted some ambiguity in the story so it’s definitely open to interpretation. My intention was to convey a desire to prolong the inevitable. Thanks for your comments Joy.

I like the age ambiguity in this one. Ryan and Melissa could either be teenagers or adults married to other people.
And I love that last line. 🙂
