The wicked snow was gone, replaced by a vast carpet of grass. Flowers of many kinds had blossomed and filled the air with their fragrance. This was the best time of the year to have a housewarming.

Where it all binds with the eerie breeze of the warm spring season together with everyone’s footsteps, smiles, greetings, and laughs on the very first day of the school year. Greeting each other as the long winter ended, to the school where everything seems normal by the first look only a few knew the darkness that it hides inside. “One by one as they all fall.” With the wind that gently sways the branches and leaving the pink petal flowers of the trees to fall like a child being cradled to sleep.

"The view, Damian." Damian looked again. Snow. Cold wind. Dead trees. The same garden he had seen every winter for as long as he could remember. "I don't—" "In a few weeks," Rowan said, not looking at him, "the snow will melt. The ground will thaw. The trees will start to bud. And then—" He paused, his voice softening. "Then there will be flowers. Everywhere. Purple and yellow and white. They'll cover the whole garden. And the birds will come back. You'll hear them before you see them, at first.

I could still see the midnight darkness outside. “Oh, just come and see for yourself!” She rushed over to me and grabbed me by the hand, towing me over to the window and pointing out towards the woods. “Look!” I looked. I blinked. I frowned. What? That shouldn’t have been possible, and yet I couldn’t deny the reality I was seeing. The branches, which had been dead and leafless for the past year, were hanging heavy with spring blossom. Flowers covered every branch. “Oh my goddess,” I breathed. “It’s magic.”

The morning air was thick with the scent of blooming cherry blossoms, their pink petals fluttering to the ground like confetti. But the beauty of spring could not mask the gathering storm on the horizon. Natalie Evans stood by the large bay window of her study, arms crossed as she watched the world outside her mountain retreat. It had been weeks since she’d returned from the city, weeks spent reorganizing her plans and forging new alliances. The calm had given her time to think, to strategize. But something in her gut told her that calm was about to break.

Because Gerald is insensitive, but now he's I'm in foreign, no matter what we do. I just realized I shouldn't be trite. And more to explore how the beauty of God's creation. Snow is everywhere. Many large trees were towering, and they left only the trunk. It will be beautiful if it's spring or fall because these trees are so beautiful. Although I don't know what a cherry tree looks like, I could be sure that it was a cherry tree when I saw a brown wood. I wish to see the cherry blossoms in spring. ________________________________ So fast, we have arrived. The places we visited were more clinics, not big hospitals. Whatever!

Nanako blinked and smiled mysteriously before she changed the topic and then said with a look of longing, “Charlie-kun, I’ve imagined four kinds of scenarios of meeting you, and the one that I’m looking forward to the most is to be able to walk in the snow with you on a snowy night in Tokyo. Fortunately, this wish was realized last year.” Charlie asked again, “What about the other three?” “The other three...” Nanako admired the trees of New York in the night and sighed as she said, “The second is to walk under the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki Park in a kimono with Charlie-kun. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms bloom in March or April at the latest, and it has already passed...”

I pulled in automatically. As I parked, I glanced around the lot, trying to distract myself from the tornado of thoughts in my head. That’s when I noticed them. Cherry blossoms. A small row of trees along the edge of the lot had exploded into soft pink blooms. I blinked at them. Had those been there yesterday? The petals shifted gently in the breeze, delicate and fragile.
