Twenty-three

Wearing a boyish grin, Cody dangled a brown paper bag filled with fireworks. He was like a kid in a candy store. Totally adorable.
I couldn’t believe it was July already. It seemed like only yesterday Cody and I moved into our home.
Over the weeks, we had settled into a routine. I’d gotten my job back at the Piggly Wiggly and Cody worked at the Watson Ranch. Mike offered to get him a job on the oilrig he worked on but Cody turned him down. Although it was better pay, neither of us could stand the thought of being separated from each other for months at a time. As it was, even the hours during the day were too much to be away from him. We were spoiled while in school, seeing each other almost every hour even if it was for only a few minutes in between classes.
