"Aren't you a little young to be dating my dad?" She looks like she could be my age. And then she turns around.
"Yeah, I am," she says, sarcasm leaking through her tone. Suddenly, her emerald green eyes widen. "So it's a good thing I'm not."
"Beth?" I whisper, uncertain. A small smile creeps onto my face.
"Hi Luke."
Luke has been in love with Beth for as long as he can remember. When he finally gets the guts to ask her out and she says no, he is left feeling stupid and rejected. But when a twist of fate lands them together for the entire Summer, he figures that he might just be able to change her mind.
