Who We Were by Christy Sloat – Sneak Peek

We made the trek through the woods on a pathway that was no doubt built just for the family. The dock sat right along the water. The lake was still, showing the moon in its reflection like a picture. Nolan threw a blanket out and we both sat. With the other blanket he wrapped it around the both of us together. I held one side, he the other.

A loud crack sounded and the burst of fireworks shot up in the sky. It was the most perfect show I had ever seen.

“This is … just beautiful. Thank you for having me here tonight.” I leaned my head on his shoulder.

“It’s only beautiful because you’re here. Normally I sit here alone.”

I closed my eyes picturing a lonely Nolan. “You’ll never be alone again.”

“Promise?” He held his pinky in the air.

“Forever promise.” I looped my pinky around his.
