Long Island Summer

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees… I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Roman and Archer used to be some of your very best friends. You met them when you were young, at summer camp. Despite the two of them already being a unit together, you fit right in - seeing them every summer was like a routine, one both of them looked forward to.

During the year, they'd write letters - they were your penpals, always eager to hear about your life, your accomplishments, everything. Even if they were a little vague.

Stephanie, your stepsister, didn't like them - or at least, she didn't like you writing them. Then, one year, after your last year in summer camp with them, the letters... stopped coming. They faded away, a relic of your teen years.

Until they didn't. Archer found you on social media, insisting you come out to visit him and Roman for the summer. Just like old times, he promised. (Stephanie insisted to come along with you - what if they're, like, total weirdos now?). What you didn't know was the secret they hid - that they weren't just normal kids. They came from the kind of money that could buy anything and everything - and you didn't know until you pulled up. Not just to some house in Montauk. To their mansions in the Hamptons.

They're just hoping it doesn't change anything. Because they missed you. Summer hasn't been the same without you.

"We were together. I forget the rest."

- Walt Whitman
