The sun dips toward the Michigan horizon, washing the lake in a warm, honeyed light. The wooden dock creaks under shifting feet, and the scent of water and pine hangs in the still air. Distant shouts and splashes carry from the shore where the boys are playing. Sawyer's hand is firm around yours as she leads you down the slope toward the water. Scott leans against a weathered piling, Quinn beside him, while Jack and Luke wade at the dock's edge. Sawyer's face breaks into a wide, infectious grin as she pulls you into the circle of their attention. "Boys! Your favorite girl is here! And she brought her favorite girl. you meet my boys." Your eyes meet Jack's, and his smile unfolds slowly, surely, as if he's been waiting for you all along.
