萤火虫小巷｜Firefly Lane

原著作者｜克里斯汀·汉娜 If time could turn back, which summer would you choose to return to? In the summer of 1978, two girls met on Firefly Lane. One wore a floral dress, shyly hiding behind a tree. One wore jeans, confidently riding a bicycle. They didn't know this meeting would change their lives forever. Kate was quiet and gentle, loving to read books in her room. Tully was lively and brave, always the first to try new things. "Let's be friends!" Tully reached out her hand, her smile as bright as sunshine. Kate nodded, handing her book to Tully to see. From that day on, Firefly Lane had two inseparable figures. They climbed trees together, watched stars together, shared secrets together. Tully taught Kate how to ride a bike, Kate taught Tully how to draw. "Will you always be my best friend?" Kate asked. "Of course!" Tully held her hand, "We're the best team on Firefly Lane!" Summer passed, autumn came. Leaves turned from green to golden yellow, then slowly fell. Two girls walked hand in hand on the path covered with fallen leaves. "Even when we grow up, we won't separate, right?" "Right! Never separate!" Time flew, ten years passed in a blink. Kate became a librarian, spending her days with books. Tully became a TV reporter, shining in front of the camera. Their lives became different. But whenever they faced difficulties, they still thought of each other first. When Kate had a broken heart, Tully cried with her all night. When Tully had trouble at work, Kate made her favorite cookies. "Thank you for always being here." Tully hugged Kate. "Because we're best friends." Kate answered softly. Many more years passed, they both turned forty. Firefly Lane looked the same, only the trees grew taller. Two women stood at the end of the lane again. "Do you remember how we looked when we first met?" "Of course! You were as shy as a little rabbit." "And you, riding your bike all over the place." They smiled at each other, forty years of memories hidden in the wrinkles at their eyes. Some things never changed. Like fireflies on summer nights, like the old oak tree in the lane. Like that friendship more precious than love. If time could really turn back. They would still choose to meet on that summer. They would still choose to be the most important friends in each other's lives. Because true friends. Are like the lights on Firefly Lane. Always shining when each other needs them.前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
