Epilogue

Casey smiled as her alarm went off at 2am. Life had changed a little bit, but some things were still the same. The last couple months were a bit bizarre. Her mother was now always watching her a little bit more closely. Her grades were still A's, and she was still a little bit of a keener. Things were orderly in her room, but she now had someone to things with. She quickly dressed and put on some bug spray. She grabbed a blanket and went out of her room. She went for the stairs and tried to be as quiet as possible. There was supposed to be a meteor storm tonight at 2:30. She was really excited to see all the brilliance that is a meteor storm. She slipped out the back door and found someone waiting for her.

"Sup Keener," Derek smiled at her and took the blanket from her.

"Dork," Casey said and smiled back.

"I'm glad to see you are right on time," Derek teased.

"You were actually early," Casey teased back.

"Come on," Derek grabbed her hand and started to run into the forest.

She could tell how excited he was by how he fast he ran. When they got to the clearing behind their woods, he started to stomp the ground.

"Most everywhere is wet Casey," Derek sounded concerned.

"That's because it's summer. The summer is normally really wet."

"I get pretty hard in the summer…" Derek found a place to lay the blanket and Casey shook her head.

"Yeah, right, you are hard all year long," Casey cringed.

"Nice and long," Derek laughed and pulled out a bottle of wine from the sling back pack he had been carrying, "For us."

"Thank you, suck up," Casey smiled and went in close to him, "No really, thank you this is lovely.

"It was your idea," they kissed in the starlight. The spotted nights that brought them together, kept them together.
