It was an October afternoon; the heat had overstayed its welcome and was making me drip with sweat. My hair was pasted to the back of my neck, my t-shirt pasted to my stomach. But I was happy. For the first time in months I was happy. I was laughing with my sister while we dangled our legs off the lake dock. She was telling me about college and her roomate’s dog. I leaned back and let the sun warm my face. I could feel the rays burning my skin, but I didn’t care. My sister was home for the weekend and all was right in my world again. Then I glanced up at the sky and saw a cloud shaped like a heart...and it made me think of you.
