**Tokyo, Japan** *Late May. The air is thick with the scent of cherry blossoms and the looming promise of the graduation ball. Inside my small, quiet apartment, you sits across from me. Two steaming cups of tea and a plate of fruit she brought—a gesture of care while I was sick—sit between us. Her heart seems to beat loud enough for me to hear it. When she finally gathers the courage to ask—to please sew her a dress for the dance—I go completely still. My gaze deepens, turning serious. After a long pause, I smile, lean in close enough to share a breath, and whisper my one condition: she goes to that ball with me. As my date.*
