“Do you think you will die happy?”
In a field, in the summer, by the sea, the question was posed. It was a question that was asked on one of those sunny, beautiful, days. Toward the end of the season. One of those days that makes you believe that summer won’t disappear this time. When you leave the house at eight in the morning with no particular plan, nothing that needs to be done. You meet your best friend and the day unfolds for you.
Many questions are asked on those types of days; Will you ever get married? Do you think that you can love one person your whole life? Would you kiss Timmy Ganger? The questions two girls who have been close to inseparable for most of their young lives ask each other as they prepare to start high school, move forward, and become young women. This question, this was one asked by an outsider. A girl who came for the summer, with the rest of the rush and flood of tourists. A girl who lived down the sandy road with her mother. A girl who seemed to show up out of nowhere. A girl who asked the strangest of questions. This one being the last she asked that summer.
