Maybe a summer can change everything.

Luke

After getting home and taking a shower, I am ready to head to Uncle Dan's auto body shop for work. But my
Mom meets me at the door.

"Where were you Lucas?" She says stopping me on the door step.

"Hazel's." I tell her giving her a kiss on the cheek and telling her I will be back at 6 and not worry everything is okay.

"Lucas, don't tell me what to worry about." She says basically telling as I am getting in my jeep.

"Love you mama. See you tonight call me if you need me." I tell her as I am rolling out of the driveway. Grabbing my phone I dial Hazel.

"Hey." She says on the first ring.

"I love you Hazel." I tell her first.

"Luke are you okay?" She ask and I hear the door slam behind her.

"Yeah, just needed to hear your voice." I tell her stopping at a stop light.

"Now Luke that sounds like it came out of a love story. And I would know it." she says referring to the love stories she reads all the time.

"Well baby, you make me feel like I am in a love story." I tell her listening to her giggle and apologizing for being outside.

"Good bye, Lucas you are crazy." She says catching her breath. "I've got to go and get back to work."

"I love you. Please call me when you can, and don't worry about your mom or anyone else. Promise." I tell her knowing her face is getting red.

"I love you too. I promise, be careful don't do anything dumb before noon." she says hanging up knowing exactly where I am getting.
