Breathing Like It's the First Time | Lola's Story Part 12 | 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt : scout
Gloria’s car pulled slowly up the cul-de-sac, and Lola hit the lights. They crept slowly towards their familiar driveway, the smell of hot doughnuts filled the air.
“Are you sure about this?” Tommy asked nervously.
“Yeah.” Lola answered. “It’ll be fine.”
She slowed the car until it stood still on the curb in front of the giant Maple tree she remembered. Lola breathed in deeply, unbuckled and got out of the car.
“Lola!” Tommy whispered. “Lola…oh come on…really?”
She ignored him, and shut the door quietly behind her.
Walking with confidence, she slid one shoe off at a time, then sat down at the base of the trunk. Tommy walked quickly towards her, his eyes darting back and forth, scouting the darkened street.
“Shhhh…” she said peacefully, and patted to the carpet of grass beside her.
He sat down hesitantly, and criss-crossed his legs.
“What are we doing?” he stared at his sister. Her eyes were closed…her head rested against the bark.
“I’m breathing, Tom.” she answered. “I’m breathing like it’s the first time.”

Doughnuts are definitely worth going out for at midnight.
Haha right? I was craving them so bad after I wrote this!
So that's where she wanted to go! Oh that makes so much sense...
I'm glad you were able to see the significance! I actually saw her spending time here from the beginning, and I'm so glad it made it in!
