One memory I have that for some reason sticks out even though it is inconsequential, is a time we went to the moor. I think it was the start of the summer holidays, or maybe at the end of sixth form. Either way, we were sat on the floor with a picnic, and everyone else was off doing something and me and Beth were sat on the floor.
We were probably chatting about all sorts, but the one thing that sticks out to me is that there were strawberries. Beth said "I love strawberries. I like the way the juice drips and it looks like blood. It makes me feel like a vampire."
I just think about that moment and giggle because it 100% sums up Beth. I didn't expect to hear it at all but it was such a Beth thing to say that I can't forget it. I wonder now if she'd be mortified, or look back fondly. I wonder if she'd fully embrace her vampire obsession, or be embarrassed by it.
Either way, I look back to that memory and smile.
