They say in every guys life theres a girl hell never forget and a summer where it all began. Well, for me, 1999 is that summer, and Brooke Sommerfield is that girl. But that was nearly nine years ago. And what they dont tell ya is that youll blink, and both the summer and the girl will be gone. I have no idea where Brooke ended up. She disappeared that same summer I met her. And kind of like when you move something on a wall after its been there for a long time and everything around it is faded, thats how I feel about Brooke. She wasnt there very long, but when she left, everything around her memory sort of dimmed. That is until a letter postmarked the year she left mysteriously resurfaces. And call me crazyeveryone else hasbut I have to find her. I have to know what became of the green-and-gray-eyed girl who stole my last perfect summer. I have to know if she believes in second chancesbecause I doeven if they do come with good-byes.
