Ai's birthday surprise (3)

The page wasn't just an expression of Jun's emotions but for the journey that they walked together, this page was the first chapter of their story.

Ai's heart fluttered with joy and the day they first met felt like it just happened yesterday. She placed the first chapter in the hook of the empty cover and the thrill of their love story being written really like a story brought a wide smile to her lips.

"Our first meeting was just as special to me," Ai said with warmth in her gaze as she gently moved her palm across the page. "I recognized it was you the first time I saw you. I could never forget the dark brown eyes that were the last that I saw as I died. I didn't understand what twist of a fate it was that you stood before me. I was almost about to say that it was you. But I thought that only I was reborn and you won't recognize me."

Jun smiled and kissed her forehead. The tender glow from the lanterns illuminated above them.
