"Just Us" by J. Hayes

My Speculation: 

Upon asking his mother's question:  'How will I know when I've fallen in love?'  When Bowie spotted Hazel Greathouse [his hazelnut] at a sports game], Bowie knew he was in love!  After spending some heavenly time [a week] with each other, they knew that they loved one another.  Will this work out for them to make plans to move in together at school [UCLA] in California? One thing for sure their lovemaking was off the chain, hot and steamy for sure.  Definitely, Bowie's kisses were 'like a full course meal.'

One thing that was for sure Hazel and Bowie were making plans to start a life together, professing their love for one another, and buying the ring at the pawnshop was one good start for them. They may not have been engaged, but one could tell that it wasn't too far off for these two. I loved how they could share their feelings, for example, Bowie's anxiety.  And I loved how they made plans...' married in three, pregnant in four.'  I liked how he was able to find at the pawnshop the Precious Moment statues that actually had belong to this mother at one time, having Bowie's thumbprint on it. 

I also loved the fact that they were in love and were willing to try to make this work for them.  However, I was left wondering what their parents will take all that has been going on with these two when they find out what has been going on with their kids.

And in the end, I believe Bowie knew they were in love.
