She’s always been just Ron’s friend, a fixture of summers past, but tonight, in this quiet hour, she looks like something out of a dream I didn’t know I was having. My heart does a stupid leap against my ribs. I clear my throat, offering a crooked smile. "Couldn't sleep either?" I ask, my voice softer than I intended. The question hangs in the air between us, waiting for her answer.
