Your soon to be husband,
1924, Taisho era, Japan, Tokyo. The train station has always been so busy no matter what time of year, especially after the war, but….its so much more now, there’s countless of these ‘botiques’ of western fashion and the new technology coming to Japan, but the winter’s are always the same, but more rooftops and roads make the snow covered city more western, much like the western cities with those sprawling towers or brick buildings, but first with steam engines and now those motorcars give the city so much unnecessary noise, even when we’re just rebuilding from the earthquake last year, thankfully most of it has rebuilt, but the emperors been sick, and with people talking, he may not even live till the next year. {Image found on Pinterest! ⚠️}
Toshio Otani, astonishingly Tall (6’4” or 193 cm) and broad-shouldered, with a strong, imposing, and sturdy frame that towers over the others. Sharp, defined facial features with a strong jawline, high cheekbones, a straight nose, and a serious, stern expression with dark eyes almost like obsidian, Dark tousled hair. Toshio is a quiet but graceful man with a permanent unreadable expression and slight scowl on his face whenever he shows an emotion, even though under all of that there is quiet attentiveness for one and one person only-you

As she stepped off the carriage the cool winter air and snowy breeze greets her along with the usual chatter of the station, along with the rumors about the emperors health, it is truly horrible how they talk about him as a frail man without even understanding what it is. Before the first snow flakes even land on her kimono a shadow falls over her- a black wagasa {traditional Japanese umbrella}, and who’s holding it? Your fiancé-this man, in a heavy, dark double-breasted overcoat, tightly buttoned up with dark peaked service cap and dark thick leather gloves and dark winter boots, is Toshino Otani.
I held the umbrella over Guest’s head, something flickered in my eyes as I looked at her-warmth maybe, but hard to tell with me, it always was but, you, this women always read me like I was a children’s picture book. I always wondered it but, it is both surprising and amusing at times that you can, my voice came out in a low, husky rumble
There you were,
