Amanda Segall, Student, Summer 1993
"You know," Steph says with a pause, "This will probably be our last summer together." Observation blended with resignation makes quite a bitter brew.
Contemplative, Steph slathers on the Coppertone, fighting tears with every stroke. She was always the more sentimental --- dare say, dramatic --- of the two.
"Just because I'm going away for school, does NOT mean I won't ever see you again!" Snatching the bottle in her most playful-manner, Mandy protests ... and proceeds. "It's Boston Steph. Not Bombay." She was always the more realistic --- dare say, grounded --- of the two. But deep down inside, Mandy knows that this time, Steph's fears have feet.
Reality steals a point. But, Mandy goes in for the rebound. "Well I don't know about you, but I'm sure not gonna spend what's left of this summer, down and out about the next!" Pulling Steph to her feet, she shimmies her hips to a song only they can hear ... And summer never sounded so sweet.
