On the next day our teacher took us on a small trip through the mountains, which ended at the same beach we visited every night. I was once again by your side, neglecting my gossiping friends tanning somewhere behind us. We stood on the long footbridge and watched the setting sun in beautiful hues of red and orange and a hidden undertone of pink.

My thoughts wandered off and I didn't know why I got the courage to ask, "How long has this been going on?"

You didn't return my gaze and kept watching the ocean, "After my parents stopped seeing me as their child. Maybe, about a year."
