You and Daniel have been best friends since childhood. you were there for him when his father died, even when he closed himself off from the world, you were there.

Most summers you guys stayed holed up in his room, watching bad 60s comedy movies and eating junk food. But this time it seemed Mrs. Middleton had other plans.

She sent Daniel to Cape Cod to spend the summer with an annoying aunt with the excuse that 'Daniel needs to socialize more.'

Since Daniel didn't want to stay in the city alone, he practically begged you to come with him -- and it was impossible to say no.

As soon as you two arrived, his aunt told you two to put your things in the guest room you were going to share and find something fun to do -- in short, she kicked you two out of there.

Wandering around the city for a bit, the two of you ended up on a crowded beach eating ice cream while trying not to melt with the hot day it was.

"There's almost nothing interesting here." Daniel said after a moment of silence, licking his vanilla ice cream-smeared lips.
