Everything Happens For a Reason

"I can't believe we're out of high school," Tawny said.

"I know. It still hasn't sunk in fully. I mean, it feels like only half the graduation ceremony thing actually took place."

"That's because only half did take place, Louis. Your pranks made the other half impossible."

Louis laughed. "Yeah, that's true."

The two friends lay side my side in the deep, soft grass under the star-spangled midnight shy.

"What do you want to do with your life, Louis?"

He paused. "Well, I hadn't really thought about it at all. I guess….I dunno." He turned his head to look at her. "You?"

"I don't know either."

He was quiet for a little longer. "You know," he said. "Everything happens for a reason."

She propped herself up on one elbow to look at him. "You believe that?"

"Yup."

"Prove it."

"What?"

"Prove that it's true. Prove it to me that everything happens for a reason."

He looked at her for a moment, and then he kissed her.

She stared for a few seconds, stunned, before saying, "So…so why did that happen? What's the reason?"

He was playing with her hair, staring intently at her. "So I could tell you I love you."

He kissed her again. This time she kissed back, and pulled him closer to her.

"And that happened so I could tell you that I love you, too," she said softly.

He grinned. "Yup."
