A girl
A boy
A lovely summer’s sunset
Red clouds in the west
Cooling breeze
The path by the lake
Holding hands
Sharing secrets
Star struck eyes
A place to sit
Contemplation of shimmering water
A stone skipping three times
A shared look
A feeble attempt at humor
Shock and disgust
A stammering apology
A head turned in rebuke
Talk of reason
Storming off
Attempt to follow
A rock heaved at the lake
Ripples everywhere
