    inevitable. Chuck and Paul helped us pack the car between gropes. Chuck and I even snuck off for one last quickie. We shared the usual lies about keeping in touch, still being friends, never forgetting the other, and how maybe one day we could have a second chance. Just like in the song, Summer Nights , my summer dreams were “ripped at the seams". As I drove away, I saw Chuck waving until he disappeared. Later, I cried in gas station restrooms on the way home. I truly mourned the end of my summer romance. ~*~*~ It had been just over five years since I had seen the Bookworm.
