serendipity

Childhood best friends Luke and Mia are going to college next fall, and their friendship is changing. Everything is changing. Luke, having been absolutely in love with Mia since forever, is growing tired of their platonic friendship. Although their relationship is close, Luke believes things need to change. He loves her.

Luke
I walk over to the passenger side and open the door for her to get in. Before I close the door, I hand her the blanket and buckle her in. She looks at me with those big ole eyes and gives me one of those precious smiles. I love her.

I walk back to my side and get in the truck, ready for a long drive to my girl's favorite place.

"Thank you super much for doing this, Lukey!" She tells me with that same smile on her face.

"Call me Lukey one more time and I'll never do it again, sweet girl."

"You love me too much to mean that." Yes, I do, baby. I just wish you would realize it.
