The Picnic Table - Christopher Chapman - Bog

It happened. He's met her, and she is it. She's not merely the one he tells all his buddies about, or the one where he wants to call his mother and entire family. She is...the one.She's the one. The one that he dreams about, the one he can't stop talking and thinking about. The one that makes his face warm, the one that makes him hear his racing pulse, pounding heart, and brain overloading from all the processing power it's devoting merely to thoughts of her. She's the one he'd actually, and literally, do anything for. She is his soul mate, and the cosmos has been telling him this since the day he first saw her.The problem is...he doesn't realize it until she's gone.Kyle comes from a middle-upper class family in the United States, while she is a product of the Soviet Union. He hates high school, but she's a brilliant astronomy student. He leads the typical life of an eighteen year old, but she has a troubled and mysterious past. They meet in 1990, in the Florida Keys. He is getting lifeguard certified, while she is a new counselor at a summer camp.The world, the universe, and fate were trying to tell him, but he didn't listen. He let her go, and now, he can't go on. They met in the Keys, but maybe they've met before.
