Maple Syrup

Life seemed a little better after talking with Evie, but early the next morning, all my bad feelings returned. From the looks of the light filtering through the window, I guessed it to be around six. Evie was lying next to me.

“Are you awake?” I asked, Mr. Banks’s kiss completely fresh on my mind.

She didn’t answer.

I knew I wasn’t going to hell for what had happened. Instead, what I felt was an understanding that I would never be the same. I felt the guilt of growing up.

I crawled out of bed and dressed, then closed the door behind me and walked downstairs, the house quiet, letting me know Mama and Daddy were still in bed. In the kitchen, I made coffee, poured myself a cup, adding cream and a little sugar. I carried the mug outside with me to the front stoop. The sky was already a clear blue. It would be a nice day for the wedding. Anita and Clyde had invited the whole town. Surely Mr. Banks wouldn’t be there. Then I remembered the tryouts for the play and wondered if he had posted the results. I finished my coffee, left the mug on the stoop, and rode my bike into town.
