The music was loud around us, and the firelight cast shadows of my dancing friends on the walls of the cabins. We were all thoroughly drunk, and for the first time in a long time, I was glad to be. Smiling, I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed Enzo, and when our lips parted he cupped my cheek with his warm hand and gazed into my eyes.

As I shifted back, I realized that I recognized this place; it was the same place that I once went to with Luke one night, many nights ago. We had sat on this very hill and talked, and it was when I realized that Luke was a friend to me.
