Chapter 24

It’s evening already, and it’s a little dark. We are at the river behind Yonkers, and I’m surprised some people are holding a party at the riverbank. 

The water is glowing gold from the reflection of light; it’s so beautiful to view. I wish Dad was here. I wish that every day.

Wait, I thought this place was more like a private place; only a few people know about it. How come they are holding a party? It got me thinking, but well, isn’t that going to be an addition to the fun? 

Party, music, swimming, and a few drinks.

“Wow, how could you keep such a nice place from me? Why am I getting to know about this place now?” She screams excitedly, and I smile at her craziness. If Ella was happy before, bringing her here was a surplus to her happiness.

She likes the party thing and the music, and most of all, she isn’t going to enjoy the party alone. She has a friend by her side.

Well, that’s good enough because I get to be alone and swim in peace.
