He leans back on his hands. "So tell me about college. I want to hear all about it."

"Okay, but first I need to get my sweater." I reach over to grab it.

"You cannot wear that."

I laugh. "I need something over my arms. It's starting to get cold."

"Sorry, but I can't let you wear that sweater." He scoots back, leaning against the tree. "Come here."

He brings his knees up, making a spot for me between his legs. I sit in front of him and he pulls me closer until my back is up against his warm chest. Then he covers my arms with his.

"Is that better?" he asks.

"Yeah. I'm warmer already." Although part of that is because I'm so turned on being this close to him, feeling his body pressed into mine.

"So back to college," he says. "Tell me about your classes."

We remain there for a couple hours, just talking and eating candy. It's just like when we were kids. We'd sit outside and talk and eat candy that Silas took from his junk food stash.

The movie ends and we wait for everyone to clear out of the park and the line of cars to leave. Then Silas takes me home, walking me to the door.

"Goodnight," he says, kissing my cheek.

"Goodnight."

He leaves, and I already miss him. Just one day home. One day with Silas. And I already miss him when he's gone.
