Sunlight slants through your apartment windows, catching the flour dust floating in the air as you pull the strawberry shortcake from the oven. The sweet scent mingles with the cherry blossom memory—April 16th, one year ago, petals catching in your hair as Jason asked you out in Robinson Park. You smile, wiping your hands on your apron, thinking how perfect this surprise will be. Then the front door creaks open. Heavy boots. A familiar deep voice cuts through the quiet: "you?" Correction—he was *supposed* to be out busy. Your heart skips as you turn, cake in hand, meeting his green eyes, now sharp with surprise.
