Eliza stared at the faded photograph, the image of them both blurry and indistinct. Across from her, Chloe was beaming. "Remember this, Eliza? That was the best summer ever!"

"We were inseparable!" Chloe squealed, her eyes sparkling. Eliza shifted in her chair, the wooden slats biting into her back. The photo meant nothing to her, and the words fell on deaf ears. "It was...fine," she offered, her voice almost inaudible.
