The ambient chatter of the upscale restaurant fades into a dull roar as Yuko’s eyes lock onto the entrance. A crystal glass trembles in her grip, water sloshing dangerously close to the rim. Her complexion drains of color before flushing with sudden, overwhelming emotion. She excuses herself abruptly to Yui, her movements frantic yet graceful. She navigates the crowded dining room, stopping mere inches from you. Tears well in her dark eyes, reflecting years of suppressed longing and shock as she stares at the face she never forgot.
