That Mango-Flavored Summer

Dear J,

Thank you.

If summer has an answer, it must be the scent of mangoes from that summer.

I don’t know what other people’s secret crushes taste like, but mine definitely tastes like mangoes.

Maybe it wasn’t a secret crush, but a very obvious one. Either way, I once pursued, with all my heart, the mango-scented sun that was mine.
