Chapter 4: Across Seasons
As winter gave way to spring, Reina and Aiden found themselves caught in a whirlwind of emotions. They shared laughter, stolen glances, and quiet moments that felt like eternity. But with every high came the nagging fear of an inevitable fall.
One evening, under a canopy of blooming cherry blossoms, Aiden took Reina's hand.
"Reina, I don't know where this is going, and I can't promise I'm not a mess. But I know I want to try," he said, his voice trembling with vulnerability.
Tears welled up in Reina's eyes as she smiled. "Then we'll figure it out. Together."
In that moment, Reina realized that life, like the seasons, was meant to change. And sometimes, it's the fleeting beauty of a moment that makes it unforgettable.
