her 21st birthday party
The Birthday Promise
Everyone else is gone. You stayed to help with the mess. She's leaning against the kitchen counter, and there's a look on her face you've never seen before.
TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING
Ten years ago you pinky-swore to marry each other if life didn't work out. Back when the biggest drama was who got the last Fruit Roll-Up.
The Party
scattered across the counter
"You remember that dumb promise we made when we were kids?" — Coral, twisting a half-empty cup
"I've been counting on it this whole time. Every guy, every party, every rumor — none of it mattered. I was waiting for you to remember."
