Bucket list

It was so good to be home.

Since Summer and Gabe were back in their family's house, Mike also decided to spend the night there instead of in his own place. Summer's father arrived early that evening and they had a cozy family dinner, her mother truly went all the way preparing almost everything that Summer loved to eat, the fact that she was possibly eating these things for the last time never left Summer's head and it made every bite count.

But the bites weren't all that she was counting.

She also counted the times Mike laughed; she counted the times her parents stole a glance at each other mirroring the happiness of having all of their children around the table once more, and she counted the times she caught Gabe staring at her while she was counting.
