    Summary

    Mati moves his thumb from her lips and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. He kisses her crown once more. Mati places two fingers against his wrist, a pressure point to help his racing heart slow down, then takes a deep breath. “How long have you known?”
    “This morning,” Bella plays with one of her bracelets. Mati reaches to stop her from fidgeting.
    Mati swallows. Bella feels it.
    Mati plays back the memory, that weekend in Las Vegas. Sweat against sweat, his body against Bella’s body, unwillingly ignorant.
    Bella rotates the rings on her fingers. The silver band on her thumb is turning bronze, changing from the salt air around them. “I know that I’m young, and that I have a future ahead of me, but, I think that I want this. I want this, especially with you. Maybe that’s the wrong decision, but it’s the one I’m making.”
    Mati swings his legs around, placing his feet on the cobbled sidewalk. "I’m sorry. I’m very, very sorry that I’ve done this to you.”

    Or, Bella, Mati and Miika come of age. Some growing pains hurt worse than others.

    Or, or, Bella and Mati engage in young love. They aren't as careful as they should be. Enter their daughter: Élise.
