EXCERPT
“Is this for me?” I ask as Ty stands in the center of the clearing
with a yellow rose in one hand.
“No. It’s for that grandma who’ll be passing this area in about
ten minutes. I’m just practicing my delivery.” He’s so cute when he’s being
sarcastic. I take the rose. In an instant I am shocked back to the day of
Laura’s funeral. Everyone in her sixth grade glass brought roses to the
cemetery to lay upon her grave, yellow ones, her favorite color. “Why aren’t
you smiling?” Ty asks. “Did I do something wrong?”
“N…no.”
“Your hand is shaking,” he says coming over to my side. “Sit
down.” He points to the picnic table. “Mae, if you don’t tell me anything I
won’t ever be able to help you. I want to help you. I know what it’s like to
need help. There’s a lot you don’t know about me, too. And I’m willing to tell
you. It’s weird because I hardly know anything about you, but I feel like we’re
a lot alike.”
“We’re nothing alike,” I say. I want to tell him. But if I do?
Then what? He won’t understand. No one does.
“Is yellow not a good color for brunettes?” he jokes. I can’t help
but smile. He takes the rose, breaks off the stem, and tucks it behind my ear.
He leans in to smell the rose and kisses my cheek. Only the crunching of sticks
from the older couple on the path stops him from reaching my lips.
