“Of course, you can. Come on in!” Josephine opened the door to let Ethan in. Once he entered, he went to sit on the couch and asked, “Can you tell me how we met?”

Sniffing the familiar scent mixed with the faint smell of disinfectant, Josephine had the illusion that he had not gotten amnesia and they were still as close as before. The sensation of his breath on her neck gave her a sweet feeling as though they were dating again.

She had taken photos of many details from the building and made it into a very romantic video that included him, her, and several warm-hearted scenes in their home. The video reminded them of the passion of summer, the cool of spring. the romance of autumn, and the warmth of winter.
