"That's not what you forgot to say. Do you know what today is?" Augustus butted in, confusing me with his words. "No." "It's August 15th."

— no doubt one of the neighbors is hoping to get some yard work done. It was a Saturday right in the middle of September — the welcome transition between summer and fall when the weather was neither hot nor cold, just pleasant.

My birthday.

I shifted backward when Summer tried to touch me, "Just please stay away from me." I picked up my phone from the nightstand while my eyes were fixed on Summer. I tried my password but it didn't work, I continued to try my password but it wasn't working for some reason. "What's today's date?" "2nd of September," Summer answered and I gave her a full blank stare, no it was 23rd October. "No, it's not," I laughed nervously. What was going on?
