Brighton was cozy and receptive. It wasn't a space I was born into or a space a parent pushed me into. I found it and it accepted me. So, even if I didn't get the girl or finish the scavenger hunt, I at least had this space to return to. Which left me with a warm feeling inside.

I lay down on the green alone, my blanket a cocoon between my body and the dewdropped grass. I stared at the moon, the image of it lingering in my sight when I closed my eyes. I felt Charlie lie down next to me, her hair brushing my arm as she rested her head on the grass.

What was it Nick Nelson said? I'm having a full-on gay crisis? I think that was it. I totally didn't read Heartstopper for Tara and Darcy's relationship.... Nope, not me.

But what if this wasn't some little crush I could get over that easily? What if I ended up falling for this girl? Shit.

We sat together on the rocky beach for a while, listening to the seagulls cawing and waves crashing. Despite the fact that I didn't believe in Mom's woo-woo stuff, I couldn't help glancing at this girl next to me and thinking, Maybe this is exactly where I was supposed to be all along.

I felt cold from head to toe. Mom hadn't just left one time capsule for me to find. This was Mom's first scavenger hunt. And it's my last.

Okay, fine. Maybe I also wanted the chance to hang out more with Charlie because she was a... good-looking girl who was funny and who I enjoyed being around.

When she looked up at me, I saw my own surprise mirrored in her eyes. "Charlie?" I blurted out. Apparently, the goodbye on the train wasn't final, after all.
