Because I Said So

Sylvia Adelaide loved me. I was sure of it. But it wasn't until my eighteenth birthday that she showed me just how much. It was the summer after graduation and it was a scorcher. Luckily for me, Sylvia knew how to keep things from drying out. Once we got started, we couldn't stop. Not even when the old man threw me out of the house and forced me to live on the other side of the county. There was nothing that could keep us apart and nowhere we wouldn't do it.
