The Woods

“Madisen looks so beautiful tonight.”
I think to myself as I watch her climb out her window.
Her brown hair is flowing in the wind as she jogs to my car.
As soon as she’s in, her smile lights up the car like the Fourth of July.

“River!”
Madisen says and snap her fingers.

“Yeah, what’s up?”
I ask as I shake my head and quit zoning out.

“I told you, I just wanna go for a ride, nothing is gonna happen.”
She says with her eyes cut as she reaches for he handle.
“If that doesn’t work for you, I’ll hit up somebody else.”

I reach over and place my hand on hers.
“Mads, calm your ass down and get in.
I told you I’m not gonna try anything.”
I say with a smile as I lean back and pull on my seatbelt.
“I have a spot that I’ve been saving to show you.”
I say with a smile as I look at her.

Madisen slowly leans back and calms down, before pulling on her seatbelt.
“Let’s go.”
She says softly as she takes a deep breath.
