A little preview
On the swings, Alex and Sol had argued about who should pick the next song for their game. Words popped like bubbles, and Alex accidentally called Sol a name that landed like a thud. Sol's shoulders curled and they walked away to the sandbox. The sky felt a little dull. Alex sat down with a sinking stomach and a pocket full of words that sounded wrong now. They wanted their friend back but didn't know how to begin.
