It was a beautiful start to a Saturday morning as the early morning sun peaked above the cascade mountain range too the east. Now a sunny morning doesn't seem like much usually but it symbolically meant 3 things to our 18 year old friend Burlington. First off, Burlington was out of his senior year of high school. Second it was the only sunny day in the last 2 months, and finally Burlington was starting his career. Now a usual first day of summer meant buying a new video game and trying to beat it in one day, floating in the lazily flowing Pilchuck river, riding his bike to the movie theater to see the newest crappy Pixar movie, or heading up to black lake park to play some basket ball. Accompanying Burlington on this beautiful Snohomish, Wa morning was Ephrata that was asleep one the floor, and Burlington's girlfriend cashmere, almost naked laying in bed with Burlington. A usual summer morning in Snohomish.
"Come on Ephrata, get up, we have to be in Seattle in 2 hours." Burlington said to Ephrata. "That goes for you too honey" Burlington said as he stroked his hand through cashmere's long brown hair.
"Morning Burlington" Cashmere said sleepily as she sat up.
"You may want to put on a bra though, Ephrata's starring" Burlington told Cashmere. Ephrata looked away quickly.
"Who me? Never." Ephrata said nervously.
