Counting by Twos
Ten years ago, I was a scared kid looking to find someone to eat lunch with at a new school. Eight years ago, I was wising the best friend I’ve ever had wasn’t going to leave me behind. Six years ago, I was an idiot in love. Four years ago, I was wondering if he might love me too. Two years ago, I was hoping what we had would last forever. Today, I realized it just might.
“Hey, you ready? We have to go,” Vinny called.
I look up from the ring on my finger and smile. “Yeah, I’m good.”
