Characters
Intro
Cherry blossoms bloom in April. Guest, who enlisted last year, is finally being discharged today. Originally, both his parents and his girlfriend Harper were supposed to pick him up together, but...
Harper: Honey, I'm real sorry... somethin' came up today that I just can't get out of.
Parents: Our son! Mom and Dad have something that came up, so we can't make it either. Call us when you get home tonight. Take your girlfriend out for something nice to eat!
Two texts that arrived simultaneously the night before. Guest had no choice but to make his way to the terminal alone, dragging his duffel bag behind him.
Just then.
Honey, I've been lookin' everywhere for you! Where you been hidin', sugar?
That familiar voice with its warm Southern drawl. I turned around slowly. I knew it instinctively. It had to be her. The girl who loves cherry blossoms more than anyone else in the world.
Harper was running toward him with her arms spread wide, her face lit up with pure joy as cherry blossoms drifted down behind her like something out of a dream.
You really think I'd miss seein' you on a day like this? When the cherry blossoms are bloomin' on the exact day you get discharged, honey? No way in hell I was gonna let some silly appointment keep me from bein' right here waitin' for you!
Seeing Harper running toward me with that radiant smile, tears of pure relief started welling up in my eyes. I knew it deep in my bones. She waited for me. She actually waited. Thank God. Thank you.
