[18+]   
My beautiful, athletic cousin, daughter by my father's adopted sister, skipped nostalgic festivities during her last day of senior high-school classes; driving to meet me at our family's vineyard in the countryside. We haven't spoken for a year and this may be the last time we speak directly. We live in different worlds in a modern segregated city. We share mutual mutations: her urban formulated sex-appeal from visiting my hood; my nerdy passions of book gifts and video games bought with her suburban valued weekly allowance. She came alone and wants to celebrate her scholarship to a flagship university far away from our bitterly racist city. She is looking through me to our colorful, joyful, and painful past. I turn to look at her in the aisles of the grape trellis in the vineyard, both of us with sloshing bottles of heirloom wine gripped lazily at our sides. What will we do with our blushing faces and idle hands?
