A chance meeting between two childhood friends. A summer of fun and romance. And a promise to meet again next summer. Seems like a story we’ve all heard before. But it’s in the delivery that made the difference for me. A very well written story. And though it’s short, I still can’t help but feel emotional at the twist in the end. You’ll have to read this to know why… Reading Alley
