Akito and Himari were inseparable as kids-chasing fireflies, building forts, and sharing secrets under the old oak tree. But life tore them apart when Himari's family moved away unexpectedly. Years passed, and Akito never forgot her-not her laughter, her dreams, nor the promise they made to never forget each other.
When she returned to town, his heart soared. But the smile she gave him was unfamiliar-polite, distant.
"I'm sorry... do I know you?"
Her voice hit him like a storm. Himari had no memory of him or their childhood.
Refusing to give up, Akito brought her back to all the places they used to go-the treehouse, the lake, their favorite diner. He retold their stories with the same wonder they once lived them. Bit by bit, something began to stir in her eyes.
He would do anything-for her to remember the friendship they once called forever.

Stays.Complete
