EARNEST

She walked down Charlie's front steps, and I had to brace myself against the tailgate. She hadn't been here in years, but everything I'd ever felt as a kid, puppy love, schoolboy crush, hero worship, whatever it was back then, paled. She was my future. I babbled something stupid, and winced at my own words. The last thing I wanted was for her to see me as that boy she played with in the mud. I wanted her to see me as more, see me as a grown man, as her future. I had my work cut out for me.
