"The house is small. Enough for us but, the yard is quite big."
"We can just sit in the living room and watch the yard. Ah! We can plant daffodils all over our yard. Isn't that amazing?"
"Sometimes, the neighbor kids might wanna come to play. We can build a swing or a slide for them. What do you think?"
"We can eat outside when the weather's good. Adding a garden platform is a good idea, right? Hehe, imagine having hotpot at nighttime."
That night, Heisuke was unable to sleep. He lay silently on the futon as Hisaki's voice from before kept echoing in his mind.

Heisuke exhaled a soft sigh.
Turning his head to his right side, he cast a look at Hisaki who was sleeping next to him. Her round shoulders were exposed as she wore a sleeveless nightgown to combat the summer heat.
