I am having SO much fun writing this story, 'cause while almost nothing that happens has ever actually happened at the lake, I am pulling a lot of stuff like that for the story.

But I loved this, and when her friend Rory (which is one of my baby sisters names and I never see it used anywhere! So that made me smile) interrupted them. Safe to say I was very upset why do friends always interrupt moments like that? *Sigh* next time. Great post and thanks for hosting!

Why does Rory always show up at the wrong moment? BTW I didn't know the narrator was a girl at first...made for a bit of awkward reading. Nice job! Thanks for hosting this blogfest!

No fair just stopping there! So what does Rory say? And 'dead fish beach' - LOL! That's such an eight-year-old name for something. My 8yr old goddaughter used to call oaks "pig nut trees" because we once told her wild boars ate acorns. Thank you so much for hosting this 'fest, it's been great fun! So when exactly can I buy S097?

The ending really hooked me. Between the last 2 blogfests, I'm ready to read all of So97! I posted mine a few minutes ago - sorry it is a bit late. I had it scheduled for 1am since we were driving all night and then I went to sleep when I got home. When I went to look at my post a few minutes ago- <i>ta da!</i> It wasn't published. But it is now. Excited to read the rest. Oh. man. The ending really hooked me. Between the last 2 blogfests, I’m ready to read all of So97! I posted mine a few minutes ago – sorry it is a bit late.

I loved the naming of the beach. Ha! And I loved the barely a kiss part. I think I would have to strangle Rory for interrupting, but I don't know what their relationship is. LOL, that was great.
