The lowering sun's reflection glistened on the water as waves crashed on sand obscured by an orange and pink sky. Behind a large rock, two summer lovers stood gazing into each other eyes for the final time.
"I'm going back home and I️ might never see you again," Betty said sadly.
The summer was coming to a halt and the long walks on the beach, late night talks, and sandcastles were about to be a thing of the past for both of them — a distant memory to never quite be matched.
Jughead comfortingly took both of Betty's hands in his, shaking his head.
"Hey, don't talk that way Betty," he said despite being equally aware of the truth that lied in her words.
Betty shrugged sadly, pressing her lips together.
"It's true," she uttered softly. "I've just had the best summer of my life with you and now I️ have to go away. It isn't fair."
She looked down, allowing her forehead to touch Jughead's.
Gently, he placed his index finger below her chin, lifting her face so her gaze would meet his once again. He looked deeply into her misty eyes before tilting his head to the side and going in for a kiss.
His hands found her arms while she grasped onto the collar of his shirt.
"Jughead, is this the end?" she asked.
He smiled widely and shook his head.
"Of course not," he replied. "It's only the beginning."
