Charlie loses her virginity on a muggy Thursday evening in August. Darius Edwards — senior, varsity football team, first string — has had the distinction of being her first Real Boyfriend for just over three months. Four days ago he sent her a “happy three month anniversary” text five minutes before showing up outside of her house to take her to dinner. For the first forty-five minutes of their date, a familiar voice blares in indignant tones in her head that a three month anniversary is a semantic impossibility, which Charlie, as is often the case, must concede as correct.
