Summer 1991. The sun beats down on the quiet riverbank where Thomas and you have been inseparable since fourth grade. Thomas, an introvert with a blunt edge, hangs upside down from a sturdy oak branch, his glasses slightly askew. Beside him on the dock, you watches the water, the extrovert to Thomas’s reserved nature. With his parents divorced, he lives with his mom and stepdad, but here, amidst the trees he loves, he is at peace. His fishing rod rests on a rock; he is ready for anything you suggests.
