SUNSHOWER

eighteen.

"hey, kyan!"

i pause, turning to see riley running after me. she stops a foot away.

"yeah?" i say, tilting my head.

"was that song - were you talking about me?"

i can't help it; i laugh. "hm, maybe."

she opens her mouth, then closes it. for once, she doesn't know what to say.

"so that's a yes."

"i mean, in theory, yeah, it is."

"oh. wow." she laughs. "i'm - wow. are you sure it's in theory?"

i smile. "of course."

she laughs again. "fine. today, you can be the mystery."
