Where: Hove Lake
Who: Amelia & @marisolsosa
When: Twilight - Thursday
What: Amelia is trying to find some peace when she spots a face from the past that makes her heart stop entirely.
It had been a while since she came to back to Hove Lake. This place had been home for her growing up but after her parents were deported, it was mostly painful. It hurt to look out at the lake and not see her dad and Deacon fishing. Or hear her mom moving around as she tried to garden. It hurt to think of how her dad would throw her into the lake for fun when she was little. It hurt.
But with a target on her back as the possible next victim, this was the only place she could think to find peace. She was sitting on the pier, bare feet just barely touching the water’s edge. It had been a few hours, at least, and Mel knew it was time to go back to reality. With one last look at the lake, she pushed herself to stand up. Dusting her shorts off and slipping on her shoes, Mel turned around and began to walk down the pier but she stopped short at the figure she saw in the distance. There was no way - how was this the first time they saw each other - but it was. It was Marisol. She hadn’t seen Marisol since the other ended their relationship ten years ago.
Amelia’s heart gave a pang at the sight of her greatest love and the person who had been her high school sweetheart. Her feet carried her and when she was close enough to confirm that yes, it was her, Amelia finally spoke. “Marisol?”
