Once I saw the sign, I knew I came home. We don’t know who put the sign up or when it went up. Its always a landmark. We always pay homage to the sign. Not because we have to. Becasue we love to. We all have something. Nicole and I have been coming since we were three with our parents. Once Ben and I started dating, he started to come and he brought his brother Eric and he started dating Nicole…

This was our last year at the house. Ben was going to college next year, Nicole was going a year abroad .Our summers in Maine will become non-existent. This was our final summer to make things happen.

I knew what Ben wanted. I just didn’t feel ready to hand it over.

I knew what Nicole wanted. And it was not from Eric. Maybe it was Ryan, from the house down the street…

I knew what I wanted. I wanted a summer like none else. No past, no future. i wanted us to live each second, each moment. I didn’t want any baggage. I didn’t want any regrets. I wanted love. I wanted happiness. I wanted my last summer.
