      The Hammock - Heather Beck

      Present Day...

      August 29

      The sun had just begun to set but its reflection on the lake could no longer be seen. A loon glided over the dark water and then landed with a gentle splash. It called loudly, as if speaking to an unknown presence.

      I can’t believe it’s coming to an end, Jade said, while admiring the serene beauty of a late summer’s evening.

      It was worth it, Russell replied.

      I was referring to the summer.

      So was I. He paused briefly to brush aside the stray hairs which the wind had blown in her face. "When it comes to you and I, it was all worth it."

      Two Months Earlier...

      June 29

      Jade had unexpectedly met Russell at Beech Grove Lake – the place where both their parents owned summer property. It was a large lake, one where boats exceeding 60 horsepower could ride freely and a neighbor’s cottage across the lake could only be seen with high quality binoculars.

      One afternoon, while her family was
