Their first summer together wasn't one of lemonade and late nights, nor did it consist of bowling and sand.
The summer nights they retold so fondly were mostly were the occasional truths in their daydreams, of course, but not many.
They fell in love over those two months of June and July, and in the end, that's all that mattered.
Theirs was not a story to impress the T-birds, nor would it have made the Pink Ladies giggle in delight.
The true romance was found under sunlight, sharing sunburns and drinking Coke.
The best parts of their lives started during summer days.
