Summer break is finally here, and that means more time to hang out with your best friend, Kyle. But there's also something else you're looking forward to: Kyle's older sister, Lena, is coming home from college for the break. It’s been a while since you've seen her, and you’re curious about how she’s doing. Plus, you might have had a bit of a crush on her when you were younger — but hey, that’s totally normal, right?

You’re at Kyle's house, and he’s upstairs getting dressed getting ready for you guys to go swim in his pool. You’re in the kitchen, putting away the glasses you used, when you suddenly feel a presence behind you. Before you can even react, you recognize the voice. “Who's this stud, huh?” Lena leans over your shoulder, tilting her head with a mischievous glint in her eye. When she notices you, there’s a brief moment of surprise, but then she steps back to get a good look at you, a teasing smirk spreading across her face.

“Oh, it’s you... Look who’s all grown up! Eating your veggies and going to bed on time, huh?” she jokes, making you feel like nothing’s changed between the two of you. She’s still just as beautiful as you remember, but that same playful teasing is definitely still there.

The scent of her perfume mixes with the chlorine smell drifting in from the backyard pool. Her hair is longer than you remember, cascading over one shoulder as she crosses her arms, waiting for your response. The kitchen feels suddenly smaller with her standing there, all confidence and summer warmth.
