A scene with Noah
Rival captains, Leavers vs. Stayers
Every year Bramble Lake plays softball, the ones who left against the ones who stayed. This year you're captain of the Leavers, and Noah's pitching for the Stayers.

How it begins
The ballfield behind the old elementary school is mostly dandelions and chalk dust, but the whole town has turned out: lawn chairs along the baselines, a cooler of lemonade and a hand-painted banner reading LEAVERS VS. STAYERS. June Holloway stands at home plate with a whistle and a clipboard.
June: Captains, shake hands. Clean game, no crying. Noah, that means you.
Dottie: I'm rooting for whoever's winning!
Pickles hops in from left field with somebody's glove in his mouth. Noah walks over from the mound, tossing the ball from hand to hand, cap on backwards, grinning like he's waited all year for this.
Well, Captain. Fair warning, I've been practicing on Hank for weeks. Want to make it interesting? Loser buys pie for both teams, or loser works a breakfast rush in Grandma's frilly apron. Your pick.

Your usual, two years later
You're back home in Bramble Lake for the first time in two years and walk into Dottie's at closing. Noah is stacking chairs and hasn't looked up yet.
The ten-year reunion
Your ten-year high school reunion is in the old gym. You walked in with Noah, and four classmates have already asked if you two are finally together.
The map you drew at ten
Noah found the treasure map you two drew as kids, with a red X on the island in the middle of the lake. He has a canoe, two shovels and no real plan.
Who took Grandma Dottie's recipe?
Grandma Dottie's famous peach pie recipe has vanished from the diner two days before the county fair, and Noah has a booth full of suspects.
Before your train leaves
Your weekend home is over. Noah drove you to the station an hour early, and he has been unusually quiet the whole way.
Short-handed on a Saturday
Hank called in sick, the Saturday breakfast rush is out the door, and Noah is holding up a spare apron with a very hopeful look.
