“I don’t want to be that person, but are we there yet?”
I rest my hands on my hips while trying to gulp
for air, desperate to alleviate the burn inside my chest.
Austin stops a few steps ahead of me, then turns around to
wait. He doesn’t respond to my question, ignoring my
complaint with a grin on his sun-drenched face. With his
sunglasses on, and a Laker’s hat perched on his head to
block the Californian rays, he extends his hand to help me
continue.
“Quit complaining, Millie,
” Ava yells over her shoulder.
“The fresh air could do you some good.”
Ava is a known workout addict. For fun, she enjoys
Pilates, yoga, and running—partaking in marathons with
Dad. Granted, she has the most amazing body from her
physical efforts. Dad is also pretty fit. However, I choose to
block out the comments often made by women whenever a
photo surfaces of him online. Mom has the patience of a
saint. If anyone publicly made comments about my man, I
would have something to say about it.
Though when it’s about your father, the man who raised
you, swipe up and pretend you didn’t just read the most
graphic comment of your life.
Austin is holding my hand tight with an uncomfortable
sweat building between our palms. Every inch of me hurts.

Ava is very persuasive. Often, it was easier to agree with her
just to shut her up.
Austin enjoys all outdoor activities, so no convincing
needed with him
“We’re here,
” Austin announces, stopping just shy of a
large rock. “Do you remember this place?”
My eyes scan the area, noting the dense bushland from
the dry heat. On one side, there is a canyon, and on the
other, sweeping views of downtown LA Although the sun is
bright, a layer of smog blankets the city.
A shallow sigh escapes me, only for my throat to thicken.
The memories come flooding back to senior year. High
school felt like a lifetime ago, with so many years passing
and college being the center of attention.
But this particular spot, we would often visit and spend
hours talking about our future. We had so many dreams,
many yet to be fulfilled. It also happens to be the very place
we made love for the first time on my last night before
leaving for college.
Typically, we drove here, but this time we hiked, which
threw me off since I was distracted by my lack of athletic
ability.
“Of course, I remember.” I squeeze his hand while
looking out into the city, unable to settle the smile playing
on my lips. It’s incredibly peaceful up here, a welcoming
change to the chaos of late. I let go of Austin’s hand, taking
