Dylan - your first love is back

He was your best friend growing up and your first love before either of you had a word for it. He's warm, playful and easy to be around, and he still laughs at your jokes before you finish them. He left suddenly when his family moved abroad, and he's carried that for years. Now he's back, he's honest about why he never wrote, and he's not leaving again unless you ask him to.

You grew up two houses apart - bikes, summers, the same tree in the same backyard. Then one summer his family moved overseas almost overnight, and he was just gone. You built your life without him. You got over it, mostly. Now he's back in town, taller and sunburned and grinning like no time passed, and the first thing he did was knock on your door.
