“Behold the power of positive thinking!” she shouted before he was even over the hedge. He’d worn a gap in the shrub there and beaten a path down to the riverbed.

“Hello, you,” he said, sitting down with a drink carrier.

“Hello, Adam.”

“I brought two Frappuccinos, and before you ask which one I’d pick for myself, they’re both caramel. Because I would pick caramel.”

“Hmm.” She stuck out her lower lip. (It wasn’t a surprise; he knew she had lips.) (It was still good, though.) “I like having a choice.”

He handed her a caramel Frappuccino. “But you always pick the one I like best.”

“That’s part of what makes it delicious! The microaggression.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah!”

“Well, I brought you something else.” He took a venti cup of water from the drink carrier and dumped it on her.

She gasped.

It ran nearly-not-dirty streaks in her possibly black (possibly dark green?) (or a kind of brown?) hair.

And then she laughed more than he’d ever seen her laugh before. “You made me spill my Frappuccino!” she said, still laughing, tears burning tracks through the dried mud on her cheeks.

“You can have mine,” he said.

She took it. She drank it all. She licked the whipped cream out of the domed lid. Then she dropped the cup into the riverbed.

“Hey, give me that,” he said. “I’ll recycle it.”

“Oh, Adam.” She laughed until her cheeks were sticky.
