Summer Boys
“I didn’t ask you to chop anything down.”
Beth watched George backing down the beach with some wood he had found for his birthday bonfire. He pulled it up to the pile Beth had already made, not turning to look at her until he’d laid it down. It looked like he had killed an entire a tree.
