My Irish Teacher

Summer was supposed to be about relaxing before college, but meeting Patrick changed everything. This young exchange teacher from Ireland had this effortless charm that sucked me in... weirdly adorable, wicked funny, and just magnetic enough to make every stolen glance feel like an electric shock. Then the theme park happened. That's when the steamy part of this romance comes in. It's incredibly hard to describe, it's a real adventure, that everyone has to live at least once while we're young.Then summer did its worst trick: ending. And taking him with it.Now I'm stuck remembering the horror movie where he buried his face in my shoulder, the way his laugh sounded like mine when we were watching our favorite childhood show... and wondering why good things have to expire.
