"Call me once you reach home. Send my New Year wishes to Aunt Yasumi."
"I will do that. You should have a good New Year celebration too."
At seven thirty in the morning, the couple was exchanging reminders on the train platform. Heisuke's ticket was on eight on the dot.
Takuya drove them earlier to avoid the massive traffic jams caused by the heavy snowfall last night.
Hesitation was written all over Hisaki's face from the moment she stepped inside the train station. If she could, she really wanted to go back to Kaagawa City, the place where her dear beloved would be.
"I'll be back the day after tomorrow," Hisaki reached out for Heisuke's hand, ignoring her brother that was intently watching them, "Oh! I forgot! Check my apartment tomorrow morning, en? I already left my key with your mom."
Confused, Heisuke asked, "What for?"
To check on the locks?
When did she give her key to his mother?
