From the Characters of the What Do You series comes a standalone short story about hope, happiness, and love

Austin

I like to tag and run.

But lately, all my friends are finding love.

And I keep running, wondering if I ever will.

Then fall came, and I see my finish line.

But this time, I want to run in circles and make it last.

At least long enough for a next time.

Terra

I like to meet and leave.

Not worried about finding love.

Instead, I run away because love is a fool's word for deceit.

But I never expected him.

And this time, I don't think I will be able to walk away from the promise of a next time––with him.
