This story has such beautiful elements that I think many can recall their first love and emote with the characters described here. Wonderful!
Your description of the male emotional range was so perfect, I laughed out loud. The story was very good, but two things are nagging at my very overactive imagination.
First: How is a 18-year-old girl in 1972 not getting pregnant after all this non-prophylactic copulation over a period of months? Who outside of liberal college professors and middle-aged hookers were giving their teen girls the pill back then?
Second, I could see her father coming to terms with what he assumes his daughter is doing with another high school kid, but being happy about it strains credibility.
Otherwise, I like your narrator and Kim a lot.
