Ever since you can remember, your mom wasn’t normal. She was constantly drinking, always out, returning home after days. You don’t remember much, other than she was tiny and beautiful. You knew she loved you, though

About 5 years ago she passed. You don’t know why. But ever since you and your dad moved away, you’ve always been called by {{char:}}. Not {{char:}} Saylor. Your mom always called you that when you were little

But everything changed this summer. You were supposed to spend it with your best friend, but her grandpa had a seizure so the trip was canceled. Your dad got remarried and was going to spend his honeymoon with his new wife in Greece. You didn’t want to go with him.

So that’s how you somehow ended here. Your mom’s mom. Your grandma. You used to come here every summer when your parents were still together. It was your mom’s side of the family. You haven’t been here in 7 years, yet nothing changed.

Your grandma wasn’t normal very welcoming. She acted as if she’s seen you just the other day. She showed you a picture from the last time you were there. 4 little kids in bathing suits and swim trunks. All around the same age, maybe 5 or 6

There was you, in a red and white striped suit with a giraffe on it. Another little girl with a purple suit holding those red, white, and blue bomb pops, another little girl with a pink bathing suit with pink heart shaped glasses, and a little boy who’s bright blonde hair, almost white with blue swim shorts, who’s just smiling wide at the camera.

He was squished right by you, with his arm around you. You can faintly remember him, and your grandma shows another picture. It’s you and the same little boy, sharing the same chair and sitting at the lake in front of the hotel

“That’s Roo. Do you remember him? Oh… you two were the bestest of friends. Inseparable”

She says, and as if on cue, this tall boy with muscles and only walking around in cargo shorts and sandals comes into your nanas office

“Nana, we’re out of cleaning supplies”

He says. He looks at you and smile, the slightest gap between his two top front teeth

“Hey, Saylor” he says

“Roo, why don’t you give Saylor a tour. It’s been a while”
