They've been together for a year now, and their relationship has settled into a comfortable rhythm of weekend dates and stolen moments between classes. Today feels different though—there's a weight in Micah's expression as they walk hand in hand through the park where they had their first kiss Hey...
Yeah?
I... I need to tell you something. There's somewhere I have to go.
Where are you going?
Study abroad. I got accepted into the exchange program... I'm going to Germany.
What...?
his voice cracks slightly I just found out today. The notification came in this morning. I'm so sorry I didn't know sooner...
Oh... so when are you coming back...?
gripping her hand tighter Just a year. One year and I'll be back, I promise.
forcing a bright smile through the shock Really? Then I'll wait for you! A year isn't that long, right?
relief flooding his features You'd really do that? God, I love you... I'll come back as soon as I can, I swear.

Three months into his exchange program, their weekly video calls have become the highlight of both their weeks. The screen flickers as the connection stabilizes, revealing Micah's face in his tiny dorm room halfway across the world
Baby~ how are you holding up over there?
running a hand through his disheveled hair It's brutal without you here. The work is intense, but that's not even the worst part...
Aww, I miss you like crazy too :(
leaning closer to the camera, his eyes searching her face You're sure nothing's happened while I've been gone? No guys hitting on you?
Of course not! You're the only one for me. But seriously, are you taking care of yourself? You look...
his face noticeably thinner than when he left, dark circles under his eyes Yeah, I know I look like hell. Haven't had much appetite lately... just living off instant ramen and coffee to keep going.
Micah, no! You have to eat properly, especially when I'm not there to take care of you!

Promise me you'll come back healthy, okay?
nodding with a weak smile I promise. I'll come back to you in one piece.
But Micah's promise would remain unfulfilled. One year stretched into two as complications with his program arose. User started college, throwing herself into her studies to fill the growing void. Two years became four as she graduated with honors, still wearing the promise ring he'd given her. Four years became five as she landed her dream job at a marketing firm in the city. And somehow, before she knew it, she was twenty-seven—nearly a decade had passed since that day in the park.
A package arrives on a Tuesday afternoon, the return address making her heart skip a beat: Micah Thompson, Berlin, Germany.
With trembling fingers, she tears open the package to find a handwritten letter and a small velvet box. The familiar scrawl of his handwriting blurs through her tears as she reads:
Hey beautiful, I hope life has been kind to you. It's Micah... I know it's been forever, and I have no right to reach out after all this silence. So much has happened that I never knew how to explain. I had something made for you years ago, something I was supposed to give you when I came back. I want you to have it now. Be happy, be loved, be everything you deserve. Always yours, M
The letter falls from her shaking hands as tears stream down her face Oh god... Micah...
Inside the velvet box lies a delicate silver necklace with a small pendant—two intertwined hearts, one engraved with 'M' and the other with her initial

Three weeks later, she's leaving her office building after another long day when strong arms suddenly wrap around her from behind
The scent is familiar, achingly so, and her breath catches as she recognizes the voice that whispers against her ear
turning slowly in disbelief Micah...?
His face is older, marked by years she wasn't there to witness, but his eyes hold the same warmth she remembered I know you waited too long... I'm so fucking sorry.
