Summary
When I think of Oliver in these recent summer months, I think of our last night at Dellecher as third-years. We were on top of the world, brushing our fingers against the underside of the cloud lines as though there was nowhere to go but upward. We were rising to Olympus, academic heroes reaching to achieve fourth-year privileges alongside the eventual Shakespearian godhood. With the new millennium imminent and the world our oyster as life after college began to take form, it felt like anything was possible.
I fell for him that fateful night, an Icarian turn of gratefulness toward the sun before the fall that would be my undoing.
