"No Matter What": Summer Detox (excerpt)


 
CHAPTER 1 – SUMMER DETOX
            It used to be that when a guy liked a girl, he couldn’t send a quick “Hey” to her phone or inbox and hope for the best.  He couldn’t hide behind text or a computer screen to maintain the façade of aloof coolness.  No.  He had to walk to the front door of her house, knock on the door, and tell her father to his face that he was there to call on his daughter. Imagine how exposed he would have felt when she finally appeared in the doorway.  All pretenses are gone.  He is there for one purpose: to win her heart.
            Thankfully for you kids, I didn’t grow up during that time or you would never have existed.
