Ah, summer flings. Is there another combination of words that conveys as much magic and possibility as that one? Who among us hasn’t fantasized about spending our hottest months all swirled up inside a new, exciting, and painfully fleeting romance? That longing applies to more than just hook-ups, though. It happens with TV shows too! Say, for example, your really smart/awesome/attractive vampire-themed girlfriend or boyfriend went on hiatus for the summer and then one day at the recreation center you laid eyes on the hunky new lifeguard. (Because Teen Wolf is definitely a guy, let’s be real.) And then you’re like, “Okay fine, he’s easy to look at. Might as well pass the time with someone who looks good. I’ll try not to use big words.”

But then before you know it this supposedly no-substance-having himbo is playing you Iron & Wine songs under the stars while fireflies dance around you, and then he’s reciting Blake poems and showing you his photographs of Big Sur, and later he’s helping your mom in the yard, and teaching your little brother the quadratic equation, and he’s holding your hand when you walk by your mortal enemy Heather Malone and she’s looking at you all jeal, and the fact that he barely ever wore a shirt all summer is not even your favorite thing about him anymore, and— Whoops! Now you’re in too deep! You had low expectations and suddenly the person you thought you’d just pass the time with—a rebound, a surrogate, a consolation—is actually A TOTAL CATCH and now summer’s over and even though your cool/hot boyfriend or girlfriend is coming back, OH LORD, THE HEARTACHE.

I miss you already, Teen Wolf.
