It's been Five years.
Five years is a long time at her age.
Five years was a long time in general.
Five years since the best, and worst times of her life.
Five years since she fell in, and out of love.
Well…out is a matter of speculation…but that isn't the point.
Eri Sawachika, a young woman just past the age of twenty three, is a well known and loved socialite in the Manchester community. Gifted with grace, charm, charisma, beauty, and intelligence, most people who've met her feel that she's been a very positive force in their lives. Born as the single and only heiress to a vastly wealthy and well respected businessman and woman pair, she has had a very charmed life filled with every possible comfort and styling money could buy.
Again, she was also very talented, and so combined with her wealth she had the whole world as stage.
She was surrounded by many loving individuals as well. Her mother and father, though busy, are very caring parents whom try to keep up with their very busy daughter despite their equally busy schedules. Eri had many friends that she had made at the University of Manchester, where she received twin bachelor's degrees in Business Psychology as well as Political Science. And of course, serving her ever faithfully as always, was Nakamura the Butler. He was probably her greatest anchor as he was practically a parent to the young woman. If she ever needed something brought to her, or a task completed, or even a shoulder to cry upon, he was always there to help her through.
But she was a proud woman who rose to the top. Top of her class, Sorority, clubs, community groups, you name it, she conquered it. Truthfully though, everyone had expected that from her. After all, she was Eri Sawachika.
However, today marks a new time in her life. It will be a turning point. It will be a test of faith, of courage, and of her patience. But more so, it'll be a test of her heart.
And so we begin, here in Manchester at her Villa where she has been residing for the last five years while she attended school. It's now the summertime, middle of July roughly, and Eri was laying outside on her deck, basking in the rays of the bright beautiful sun. Eri had graduated only a month ago, but was still busy with school affairs as well as possible future business outlets. Because of this, she had decided that she was going to take the day off from her busy schedule and relax for once. It was a gorgeous day out, so it only seemed to fuel her desire to relax and enjoy it even more. If there would be a problem, Nakamura would handle it.
So the wealthy heiress sat up for just a moment to take a sip of her lemonade when the aforementioned butler stepped out onto the deck with a phone in one hand, and a small handful of letters in the second. She tipped her sunglasses back to see him more clearly while taking her headphones off to hear him the same. In his usual manner, he cleared his throat before addressing her.
" Mistress, it seems you have a telephone call from a Mister Harold Andrews. I do believe he's the young man from the Charity Ball you attended last week. " he stated.
" Very well then Nakamura. I'll take the call now."
" As you wish my lady. These also arrived for you earlier."
" Thank you Nakamura. You're free to go. Please try and take some time off for yourself today."
He nodded and gave her a respectful bow before departing. She smiled slightly, knowing that he wasn't going to take the day off, simply because no matter how many times she tells him to do so, he never seems to. But it made her happy to know he was always there for her. She took her caller off hold and placed the phone up to her ear and began to sort through the letters she had received while she conversed.
