#716 Water at Midnight- Bryn Chancellor
Sunny is seventeen, an only child of divorced parents. Because of some undisclosed “trouble” she got into at her mother’s, she is spending this year with her father in Arizona. It is summer, and sweltering. She doesn’t know anybody and the loneliness has gotten to her. She watches a thirty-two year old irrigation man working in her yard at night. On occasion she secretly goes out to met him, and offer him iced-t. Her flirtations are overt and unreturned, although the man does like the attention.
The seduction goes unfulfilled, and this Lolita story ends before it goes anywhere. The tension is broken and Sunny gores back to being a teenager, and William goes back to being the neighborhood waterman.
